Michael Sandborn & Mark Sandborn Partnership d/b/a MS Squared (Asheville, NC) has sued Avid Technology, Inc. (Burlington, MA) for infringement of Patent No. 6,930,235 directed to a method of assigning colors to musical notes and notation. The Sibelius software program, now owned by Avid, is specifically accused. The complaint alleges that a popular (though not only) infringing feature of Sibelius was removed from the software, but that Avid provided a means for users to create their own infringing uses.
