소장에서 LVL은 삼성전자 및 LG전자가 트랜텍션 데이터 관련 자사의 특허를 침해했다고 주장했다. 특히 피고들의 마이크로프로세서 및 컴퓨터로 판독가능한 기록매체로 구성된 트랜잭션 입력 장치; 전송 매체; 및 처리(process)를 위해 데이터 트랜잭션을 다른 서버와 통신하고, 데이터 트랜잭션을 처리하고, 그리고 추가적 폼(form) 중 하나, 리스폰스 및 프롬프트를 트랜잭션 입력 장치에 복귀시킴으로써 데이터 트랜잭션을 처리하는 서버로 구성된 장치가 자사의 데이터 트랜잭션 조합 서버(Data Transaction Assembly Server) 관련 특허를 침해했다고 주장했다.
3) 분쟁특허
▪ US6044382 - Data Transaction Assembly Server
쟁점이 되는 것은 ’382 특허의 청구 19항이다.
19. A data transaction processing system, comprising:
a transaction entry device comprising a microprocessor and a computer readable medium which stores a form driven operating system which controls said microprocessor to accept input data of a desired transaction type using control data comprising at least one form presented to a user by said form driven operating system for eliciting data input of said desired transaction type from said user, said at least one form including at least one prompt customized to said desired transaction type, said form driven operating system further formatting at least any data input by said user in response to said at least one prompt into a data transaction for processing, and which stores a form/menu memory which stores said at least one form;
a transmission medium; and a server connected to said transaction entry device via said transmission medium, said server processing data transactions from said transaction entry device which include a form customized to a transaction type supported by said server, said processing performed by said server including at least one of (1) communicating said data
transactions to another server for processing, and (2) processing said data transactions and returning at least one of additional forms, responses to prompts in said form customized to said transaction type supported by said server, and processed data to said transaction entry device as data transactions.
