Openwave Systems Inc. ("Openwave") (Nasdaq: OPWV) today filed a patent infringement lawsuit against 724 Solutions (US) Inc. and 724 Solutions Software Inc. (collectively "724 Solutions") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to protect its IP rights.

"Since its inception in 1994, Openwave and its predecessor companies have invested in and protected its innovative technology that is today enabling the exciting evolution of the always on wireless internet.
