MPHJ Technology Investments, the owners of a scan-to-email patent, raised eyebrows last year when they filed a number of lawsuits against small businesses and were accused of abusing their power. Now the company is going up against larger institutions. The company has filed lawsuits against the Coca-Cola Company, Dillard's department store and insurance company Unum Group. The complaints says that the IT infrastructure of these companies, transmits "electronic images, graphics and/or documents via a communications network from a network addressable scanner, digital copier, or other multifunction peripheral," which supposedly infringes on MPHJ's patents.
