Level 3 expects a U.S. court to resolve a conflict with Limelight Networks, said Grant van Rooyen, Level 3 Content Markets Group senior vice president. Level 3 is suing Limelight in the U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia for infringement of three patents it acquired in buying Savvis’s content delivery network business on Jan. 23, 2007. Limelight revealed the suit last week, denying it infringed and saying it will “defend itself vigorously” (CD Jan 2 p10). Level 3 stands by its charges, van Rooyen said. Level 3 didn’t go public with the infringement suit because it was “not looking for PR” but had no intention of hiding it, he said.
