Starhome, the leading provider of solutions to simplify multi-network mobility has filed lawsuit against Roamware, Inc., AT&T Mobility LLC and T-Mobile USA, Inc., for the infringement of Starhome’s patents by the defendants during 2010.
 
It has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, following a summary judgment of non-infringement handed down by the District Court for the District of Deleware, based on the court's construction of the term Intelligent Gateway.
 
Starhome’s original complaint alleges infringement of patents by defendants’ provision of international roaming wireless telephone services to subscribers and telecommunications companies.
 
The complaint accuses the defendants of infringing United States Patents 6,920,487 and 7,231,431, each entitled System and Methods for Global Access to Services for Mobile Telephone Subscribers.”
 
The patents cover the core technology of the Starhome Intelligent Call Assistant (ICA) solution and the Starhome Home Short Code (HSC) solution, among other services.
 
Neta Bloch, General Counsel at Starhome explained: “Starhome will go to great lengths to protect its technology and patented solutions. We felt that by requesting a judgment of non-infringement during the summary judgment proceedings, we would save time and be able to move quickly to appeal this specific definition.  We expect the appeal to be heard midyear 2013.”
