Database Solutions, Inc.

I'll research this company and the related litigation context.

Let me verify details on the parties and the second case.

Database Solutions, Inc. ("DSI") — The entity in these records is the New Jersey–based IT solution provider and value-added reseller that was named in the 2003–2004 Padcom/NetMotion wireless-roaming patent dispute. Contemporary reporting (CRN, Sept. 2004) places it in Cherry Hill, N.J., with George L. Brown as president; Padcom's October 2003 press release identifies it as "Database Solutions, Inc. of Wilmington, Del.," reflecting Delaware incorporation, and the Delaware court record confirms DSI was located in New Jersey. Note a significant caveat: "Database Solutions, Inc." is a very common corporate name, and several unrelated companies share it. Third-party directory data (Dun & Bradstreet) lists a Delaware-incorporated Database Solutions Inc. in Sicklerville, N.J., founded 1978, with roughly 18 employees and about $3.3M in revenue; that is a probable but unconfirmed match, and I could not independently verify DSI's founding year, size, or current status. No public-company ticker was found — it appears to have been privately held.

Products / services — DSI was an operating company, not a patent assertion entity: a regional solution provider/reseller specializing in enterprise software consulting. Its relevance here is a reseller agreement with NetMotion Wireless covering NetMotion's mobile VPN/mobility software. DSI's president stated publicly that the firm never actually sold the product, as it was awaiting a Windows 2000 port.

Litigation posture — Two-way but essentially incidental: one case as defendant and one as plaintiff. Padcom sued DSI as NetMotion's alleged reseller; DSI in turn was a co-plaintiff with NetMotion in the parallel declaratory-judgment action. The counts reflect that a vendor's channel partner was pulled into a patent fight rather than either an NPE campaign or a defensive portfolio strategy.

Notable cases — Padcom, Inc. v. NetMotion Wireless, Inc. and Database Solutions, Inc., C.A. No. 03-983-SLR (D. Del., filed Oct. 26, 2003), asserted U.S. Patents 6,418,324 and 6,198,920 on wireless roaming; DSI's motion to dismiss/transfer was denied (May 24, 2004). DSI was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in June 2004 after Padcom concluded the reseller had not licensed or sold the accused products, and NetMotion indemnified DSI's costs under the reseller agreement. The companion NetMotion Wireless, Inc. et al. v. Padcom, Inc. action (N.D. Cal., filed Nov. 7, 2003) is the declaratory-judgment case DSI sought to transfer into. Padcom and NetMotion later merged.
