On February 26, 2010, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T, AT&T Mobility LLC and AT&T Wi-Fi Services, claiming the companies are infringing a Wireless LAN patent.
CSIRO claims it notified AT&T of the patent infringement in February 2009, but claims the company continues to infringe US Patent No. 5,487,069. CSIRO requests a permanent injunction, damages and attorneys in the patent lawsuit.
