Claiming that its principal rival SAP AG has infringed upon seven of its core patents, i2 Technologies Inc. has filed a suit in U.S. District Court in Dallas seeking damages and an injunction against the software giant. The suit -- filed against SAP Americas Inc. and parent company SAP AG -- alleges that the company has infringed on patents awarded to i2 between 1998 and 2006.
