Microsoft Sued By CopyTele Over Alleged Skype Patent Infringements, Wants To Bring Cases Against 100 More Web Conferencing Services

skypeCopyTele, a "patent enforcement entity" based in New York, has filed a patent infringement suit against Microsoft in connection with its Skype IP calling and messaging service, now used by 280 million people every month. The two patents in question come from Secure Web Conference Corporation, a subsidiary of CopyTele. They are 6,856,686 B2 ('686 Patent), and 6,856,687 B2 (687 Patent), respectively covering "method and apparatus for securing e-mail attachments" and "portable telecommunication security device." "The Patents-in-Suit, generally speaking, relate to secure web-based peer-to-peer communications," CopyTele writes in its complaint.
