In Brief: Intuit Sues Checkfree on Electronic Bills

Intuit Inc. has filed suit against Checkfree Corp., alleging it violated an agreement related to the way Checkfree distributes electronic bills.

Intuit's complaint, filed Wednesday in California's Santa Clara County Superior Court, seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief against Checkfree. It alleges that Checkfree violated an April 1998 agreement requiring the Atlanta company to refrain from offering its bill presentment products on "certain distribution channels," according to a press release.
