Summary
IAS alleged that the defendants' U-Scan Express automated grocery self-checkout system infringed U.S. Patent No. 4,787,467, seeking damages and an injunction. The docket index lists a July 2, 1999 filing; reporting also describes a January 2000 patent infringement action against PSC and Optimal, possibly the same matter or a related filing. No judgment, verdict, or appellate decision was located, and Optimal later acquired the patent in 2004, but formal disposition is unconfirmed.
