Sharman Networks said Tuesday that its Altnet division had sued StreamCast Networks, creator of the Morpheus peer-to-peer client and network, claiming the company infringed on three separate patents related to efficiently operating a P2P network. The suit was filed in federal court in California.

The fight between the two companies goes all the way back to 2002, when Sharman-owned Kazaa locked users of the Morpheus client out of its network. From there the relationship between the two networks soured, leading to Tuesday's legal action against StreamCast.
