Heading: The Sensormatic Systems Using the Intellix IP Protocol

Text: Elbex contends that the Sensormatic systems using the Intellix IP protocols infringe because those systems use an internet protocol (IP) address as part of a data packet received from a camera to address return messages, including control signals, to that camera. Sensormatic disagrees, stating that the camera addresses are entered manually into the controller, and are not sent by the camera. We have reviewed the record related to the Sensormatic CCTV systems using the Intellix IP protocols and have determined that Sensormatic has not met its burden of showing that there are no disputed issues of fact and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. It is unclear on this record whether address information within the data packets sent from a camera to the controller is used by the controller to address control signals to the camera. This fact is both material and disputed. Therefore, we reverse the grant of summary judgment with respect to the Sensormatic systems using the Intellix IP protocol and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
