    Nuance Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Tellme Networks, Inc.

    BURLINGTON, Mass. – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), the world’s leading supplier of speech and imaging solutions, and Phonetic Systems, Ltd., Nuance’s wholly-owned subsidiary, today announced that they have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Tellme Networks, Inc. in the United States District Court in Delaware.

    In their complaint, Nuance and Phonetic Systems assert that Tellme infringes their patents covering valuable features of directory assistance and call center applications, including pioneering “whisper” technologies and advanced database query techniques. In the patent infringement suit, Nuance and Phonetic Systems seek monetary damages for Tellme’s infringement as well as injunctive relief to prevent Tellme from continuing to infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,033,088, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Effectively Receiving Voice Input to a Voice Recognition System,” and U.S. Patent No. 6,256,630, entitled “Word-Containing Database Accessing System for Responding to Ambiguous Queries, Including a Dictionary of Database Words, a Dictionary Searcher and a Database Searcher.”

    “Over time, Nuance has invested significant resources in developing technologies and building an intellectual property portfolio that are important components of our strategy and integral to the success of our business,” said Jo-Anne Sinclair, vice president and general counsel, at Nuance. “Our IP and technological assets favorably differentiate our directory assistance and call center solutions from other offerings. Nuance values its intellectual property and intends to diligently and vigorously protect its patent rights and prevent infringing use by others."

    Did You Know?

    There is a time limit on patent protection.

    For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
