Insurance software provider CCC Information Services Inc. filed suit against Mitchell International in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that certain Mitchell software products, including UltraMate, infringe on a patent held by CCC. Mitchell believes that the lawsuit is utterly without merit.
“We believe that this lawsuit has no basis in fact,” said CEO Jim Lindner in a statement. “We have been developing our own proprietary database analysis and presentation technology for over 20 years. Of all the companies in this industry, Mitchell has the least interest in what CCC develops.”
Lindner also stated that he found it curious that the filing of the lawsuit was the first notice of claim by CCC to Mitchell, headquartered in San Diego.
“We are the fastest growing supplier of process automation technology to the insurance claims industry,” Lindner continued. “Unfortunately, it would seem that some companies would rather litigate than compete but, regardless, we will defend ourselves vigorously against the assertions made in this lawsuit.”
CCC is headquartered in Chicago.
