In March, Intermec filed a suit in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, charging Symbol with infringement of six Intermec patents that cover technologies such as integrated wireless data capture, portable battery-powered data processing devices and handwritten data processing. The Intermec suit came on the heels of Symbol's wireless patent infringement suit against Intermec, filed in the same court earlier in the month.
