MIAMI – A Rolling Meadows, Illinois company is facing a suit from a Boynton Beach company over allegations of patent infringement.
Shipping and Transit LLC filed a complaint on July 5 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Fairprice Tobacco Inc., doing business as Windycitycigars.com, citing patent infringement.

The suit lists patents '207, '359', '299 ad '970, which regard vehicle status information when shipping items.
