“SpeedTrack has done a lot of homework in terms of identifying people it believes are infringing its patent and using its technology for free and profiting off of it,” says Marc Morris of the law firm of Hennigan, Bennett & Dorman LLP, which is representing SpeedTrack. Morris says it is possible SpeedTrack would sue other online retailers that use a similar guided navigation system.
The retailers named in the lawsuit are Amazon.com Inc., No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide; Dell (No. 3); OfficeMax (No. 6); Best Buy Co. and Best Buy.com LLC (No. 10); Costco Wholesale Corp. (No. 14); Hewlett-Packard Co. (No. 16); Systemax Inc. (No. 21); Macy’s Inc. and Macys.com Inc. (No. 23); Overstock.com (No. 29); 1-800-Flowers.com (No. 31); Redcats USA (No. 34); Barnesandnoble.com LLC and BarnesandNoble.com Inc. (No. 41); The Home Depot (No. 43); Nike Inc. (No. 49); Recreational Equipment Inc. (No. 67); Northern Tool & Equipment Catalog Co.
