St. Louis – A lawsuit has been filed in a St. Louis federal court against seven online-gaming companies alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,564,001, titled “Method and System for Interactively Transmitting Information Over A Network Which Requires Reduced Bandwidth.”

The suit was filed on April 25 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on behalf of Las Vegas-based 1st Technology Inc., alleging the ’001 patent has been and continues to be infringed by the defendants.

The defendants include four Costa Rican companies: Digital Gaming Solutions SA, Costa Rica International Sports, Action Poker Gaming Enterprises and SBG Global; two Norwegian companies: Playsafe Holding AS and eCom Enterprises; and Digital Gaming Network, Ltd., which is based in Curacao.

The plaintiff seeks the enjoinment of further patent infringement, treble damages and the impoundment and destruction of all infringing products.

The suit was filed by Anthony G. Simon and Timothy E. Grochocinski with the Simon Passanante law firm.

Simon noted that “1st Technology is a leading technology licensing company that invests considerable resources in developing its intellectual property and is dedicated to protecting and enforcing the same.”
