AT&T Sues EBay in Patent Dispute

AT&T said its patent covers transactions in which an intermediary securely processes payments over a communications system such as the Internet.

The long-distance company asked the court for a permanent injunction preventing eBay and PayPal from using the technology. It also asked for the profits and revenues the companies gained from its use, and an award of compensatory damages.
