Auction Management Solutions Inc. issued a press release to announce it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against automobile auction giant Manheim Auctions, Inc. of Atlanta, Ga. and Canadian corporation Live Global Communications of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Auction Management Solutions Inc., creator of the OnLine Ringman auction integration system, said its lawsuit alleges infringement of AMS Patent No. 6,813,612 entitled "Remote Bidding Supplement for Traditional Live Auctions," and said the patent makes certain aspects of the system and process of integrating a live auction audience with a remote auction audience proprietary, meaning they cannot be improperly imitated.

The action, which asks for a preliminary injunction against the two companies, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta.
