LONG BEACH, CA (Laserfiche)—October 25, 2010—Laserfiche has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court in Los Angeles, CV10-7843 JFW, against SAP America, Inc., SAP AG and SAP Global Marketing, Inc. for infringing Laserfiche’s Run Smarter® trademark.
“We are disappointed that SAP has been using our Run Smarter® trademark without permission, and we’ve been forced to file a lawsuit in response,” said Laserfiche Executive Vice President Chris Wacker.

Laserfiche has been praised by industry analyst firms such as IDC for helping organizations “address the majority of their document and records management issues effectively and within a shorter time frame than other large enterprise content management providers.”
“Laserfiche has been using our federally registered Run Smarter® trademark as the centerpiece of all our marketing campaigns since 2004,” said Tom Wayman, Vice President of Marketing at Laserfiche. “The trademark is synonymous with our brand, and has helped us grow our client base to more than 28,000 customer organizations around the world.”
