Business as Usual at Quarterdeck Despite PowerQuest Patent

November 13, 1997 08:02 AM

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Quarterdeck Corporation QDEK announced today that it is one of a number of companies that PowerQuest Corporation of Orem, UT alleges infringes a patent recently issued to PowerQuest. The patent, titled "Methods for Manipulating Disk Partitions," issued on October 7, 1997 as U.S. Patent No. 5,675,769. Quarterdeck's "Partition-It" product is among those PowerQuest claims infringe the patent.

Quarterdeck believes that it does not violate the PowerQuest patent and that the patent should never have been issued by the U.S. Patent Office.

PowerQuest has provided Quarterdeck with a copy of a complaint, but has not formally commenced a lawsuit against Quarterdeck. Should PowerQuest proceed with a lawsuit, Quarterdeck will vigorously defend and seek to invalidate PowerQuest's patent.
