Sirius, XM Sued on Patent
http://www.thestreet.com/newsanalysis/techstockupdate/10345292.html
This article goes along with what we were discussing in class today regarding patentees attempting to craft their patents to be as broad as possible.
Keystone Autonics is alleging that both XM and Sirius are infringing upon their patent. Keystone claims that their broad patent covers the technology that beams data to to the radios display, helps enable mobile features such as global positioning system, or GPS, location services, as well as crash- and theft-detection functions.
I wasn't able to find anything on Keystone, but they filed their patent in 2001. Here is a link for more information on their patent: http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week03/OG/classification/classGroup_71.htm
