Los Angeles-based RPost this morning filed a lawsuit against Adobe and EchoSign in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, claiming EchoSign is infringing on RPost's patented technology with its services. RPost is asking the court for a permanent injunction against services from both companies, as well as damages on infringing products. Adobe yesterday said that it plans to integrate EchoSign's services into SendNow, FormsCentral, and CreatePDF.
"RPost notes that it's forced "would-be competitors" to shut down over the rights to use patents it holds, and that it has legal action pending against rival Docusign, the Swiss Post Office, the Canadian Post Office, and the U.S. Postal Service."
LoL, wtf?! And sued only a day after Adobe acquired EchoSign? Obvious patent trolls are obvious.
