Jarg Corp., a start-up company begun by Northeastern University and an associate professor, filed suit against Google Inc. alleging patent infringement of its 1997 patent relating to advanced internet searching technology. Jarg Corp. is the exclusive licensee of the patent owned by Northeastern University.

Jarg Corp. learned of the potential infringement from a participant at a presentation by Google in which it described its Web search technology. Jarg Corp. seeks the relatively speedy patent calendar in the Eastern District of Texas, and the patent litigation experience of that Court.
