WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CRF Inc., a leading provider of e- Diaries for capturing electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (e-PRO) data in clinical trials, reported that it is surprised that PHT Corporation, a competitor, filed a patent infringement lawsuit without any notice of any claim or discussion of the patent in question.
The lack of any prior notice or discussion is consistent with CRF Inc.'s belief that the lawsuit is without merit and is intended for PHT's short-term competitive advantage.
CRF Inc. intends to vigorously defend the important products and services it provides and has referred the matter to outside legal counsel.
