Markzware Sues Enfocus, Artwork Systems

Markzware has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court against Enfocus Software, Artwork Systems Group N.V. and Artwork Systems N.V.

The lawsuit alleges that products manufactured and sold by the defendants infringe upon the Markzware U.S. Patent No. 5,963,641 for a “Device and method for examining, verifying, correcting and approving electronic documents prior to printing, transmission or recording.” Markzware preflight products for digital documents include FlightCheck Professional, FlightCheck Designer, FlightCheck Studio, FlightCheck Workflow and FlightCheck Online.

The complaint seeks monetary and injunctive relief from all three defendants.

“The preflighting described in the ’641 patent and owned by Markzware has been used without our consent,” explains Patrick Marchese, president of Markzware.
