The complaint has been filed in the US district court in Marshall, Texas and covers one of Sonic's video editing patents.
Sonic alleges that Nero has broken US Patent 6,204,840, which dates back to 1998 and relates to techniques for "digital multimedia composition".
Among other applications the patent covers improved ways to create digital videos using a graphical 'storyline' to sequence individual video segments.
