Harlequin-EFI Battle In Court

EFI's lawsuit, filed in November 1998, alleges that Harlequin's Scriptworks, Full Color System and Profile Processor, infringe three EFI patents for proprietary color management and color calibration technology.

Jim Etheridge, EFI's general counsel, says that last summer the San Francisco court ruled against Harlequin's attempt to enjoin EFI from contacting Harlequin's original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Last fall the court denied a Harlequin motion for summary judgment in its favor.
