On February 26, 2010, Texas OCR Technologies, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Services LLC, claiming Amazon.com’s “Search Inside This Book” feature infringes on US Patent No 6,363,179.

The patent-at-issue, entitled, “Methodology for displaying search results using character recognition,” was issued in January 1999. Amazon.com’s feature allows users to search for specific text within books.

Texas OCR Technologies seeks adequate compensatory damages.
