Comcast Corp. has sued Sprint Nextel Corp. over intellectual property, marking a further rift between the two communications companies.
In a lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania, Comcast and TVWorks LLC, Comcast's wholly-owned video software subsidiary, claims Sprint is infringing on four patents that the nation's third-largest wireless operator uses in support of its mobile services, Light Reading Cable reported.
This is not the only court case between the two companies; a few months ago, Sprint sued Comcast and other former cable partners because they were allegedly infringing 12 patents connected to VoIP services, the report said.
Comcast is an investor in Sprint's partner Clearwire Corp. and resells Clearwire's services, but the cable giant is expected to move off Clearwire's network in favor of a joint marketing agreement with Verizon Wireless. That co-marketing agreement has already commenced in a few markets on the West Coast.
