CEIVA Logic Inc., the leading provider of connected digital photo
frames and photo sharing services, announced today that it has filed a
patent infringement lawsuit against Frame Media, Inc. and Digital

infringement, including treble damages for any willful infringement,
and for an injunction to prevent Frame Media and Digital Spectrum
Solutions from making, using or selling infringing products or systems
that infringe CEIVA's patent. CEIVA is represented in the lawsuit by
