Marimba also has a lawsuit on its hands with NVDM Novadigm Inc (traded on Nasdaq as NVDM) is challenging Marimba and others (Netscape) as to the standard they have applied for Push technology. NVDM has patents on some of the technology and claims it is not Marimba`s to give away. here is part of the article: >>> MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 1997-- Patent Infringement Lawsuit May Impact W3C Protocol Submission Novadigm, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVDM) today said it has warned the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that elements of the proposed Distribution and Replication Protocol (DRP) may infringe its intellectual property rights. The company asked that the consortium defer consideration of the proposal, pending resolution of a patent infringement lawsuit Novadigm filed against Marimba Inc. in March 1997. The lawsuit alleges that Marimba has infringed upon Novadigm's existing "fractional differencing" patent, issued in December 1996. Based upon a review of documentation made public by Marimba and the W3C, Novadigm believes DRP may use techniques similar to its patented methods, including DRP's use of differential indexing. Neither company has previously commented publicly on the lawsuit. Novadigm said it will also notify the other companies involved in the DRP proposal of its claims against Marimba. Those companies are: Netscape Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: NSCP), Novell Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL), Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW), and @Home Network (NASDAQ: ATHM). <<< Does anybody have any take on the strength of their case ? sg
