Donnelley Launches Infringement Suit

CHICAGO—RR Donnelley has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against both Quark Inc. and Creo Inc., a subsidiary of Eastman Kodak.

The suit, brought out in Federal Court in Delaware, alleges that products manufactured and sold by Quark and Creo infringe upon an extensive portfolio of Donnelley patents in the area of digital printing processes. North America's largest printer claims the technologies are central to a significant segment of its product and service offerings.

The complaint seeks monetary and injunctive relief from both defendants. Doug Fitzgerald, senior vice president of marketing and communications for RR Donnelley, did not return a call seeking comment.
