Juno files suit against NetZero, Qualcomm NEW YORK, June 1 (Reuters) - Internet services provider Juno Online Services Inc. said Thursday it has filed suit in Delaware federal court seeking monetary damages and an injunction against NetZero Inc. (NasdaqNM:NZRO - news) and Qualcomm Inc. (NasdaqNM:QCOM - news) for alleged patent infringement. Qualcom is the publisher of Eurdora e-mail software currently being distributed by NetZero. The patent protects technology that Juno (NasdaqNM:JWEB - news) said it developed to enable advertisements and other content to be displayed to an Internet user while that user is offline. It expands Juno's revenue opportunities while minimising telecommunications costs by allowing the company to display advertising to Web access subscribers even while they read and write e-mail offline, rather than only while they are online. The latest version of Qualcomm's Eudora e-mail software includes a setting called ``sponsor mode'' that lets advertising be displayed while the user reads and writes e-mail. NetZero, a provider of free internet access, has begun distributing the new version of Eudora and encouraging its subscribers to use it, Juno said in a statement. Juno said the patent was one of several issued to it in 1998 and claims NetZero and Qaulcomm are infringing the patent by producing and distributing software that implements Juno's offline architecture. NetZero and Qualcomm spokeswomen were not immediately available for comment.
