Flip Video maker sued over codec

A company called Advanced Video Technologies has filed suit against Pure Digital Inc., makers of the popular Flip Video camcorder, alleging patent infringement. According to Reuters:

The suit alleges that AVT holds the patent to the “Full Duplex Single Chip Video Codec,” or software that allows the Flip Video cameras to compress video files into a far smaller form while keeping the images looking sharp. It is the essence of the camera, which has captured 13 percent of the camcorder market, according to a New York Times report.

Pure Digital claims the suit is without merit.
