Diebold settles patent suit against ATM refurb company

October 28, 2013

Diebold, Inc., has reached a settlement in a patent lawsuit it filed in February in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. According to a news release, the suit brought several allegations against NuSource Financial Inc. of Eden Prairie, Minn. 

Among the claims in the Diebold suit, the company alleged that NuSource infringed its U.S. Patent No. 6,672,505, as well as various Diebold copyrights, by selling refurbished Diebold ATMs installed with unauthorized copies of Diebold ATM software.

NuSource denied Diebold's allegations, as well as any liability to Diebold. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, the release said. 

"We are pleased that we have been able to resolve this litigation," said Chad F. Hesse, Diebold vice president, general counsel and secretary. "Diebold is committed to protecting its intellectual property rights throughout its portfolio of solutions. Diebold welcomes efforts to compete with its innovative products and unparalleled service organization, but will vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights."
