Amdocs Suing Openet for Patent Infringement

  

Last week Amdocs filed to the United States district court, Eastern District of Virginia a complaint against Openet for patent infringement.

Amdocs claims that Openet is infringing US patents 6,836,797 ("System, method and computer program product for network record synthesis" - here) and 7,631,065 ("System, method and computer program product for merging data in a network-based filtering and aggregating platform" - here). Amdocs got these patents following the acquisition of XACCT, a mediation software vendor (here). 

Although the complaint relates to Openet's "FusionWorks mediation products", FusionWorks platform is also used for Openet's Policy Manager (here).
