The University of Minnesota is suing Dallas-based AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ), saying the mobile phone carriers are infringing on technology developed by a professor that speeds up phone service.
The Minnesota Daily reports on the lawsuits, filed Wednesday in Minnesota's U.S. District Court.
The U of M wants royalties and damages from the companies, who the university says are using technology patented by Georgios Giannakis, the director of its Digital Technology Center, and other researchers. The technology improves the speed of 4G LTE phone and data service.
The school hired Fish & Richardson to handle its suit.
