Symbol and Metrologic had been engaged in the spat since early 2002, when Symbol sued Metrologic, claiming that the company had failed to make adequate royalty payments.Symbol was a maker of wireless barcode scanners that are used by delivery and warehouse workers to keep track of inventory.In 1996, Metrologic licensed Symbol&#39;s barcode scanning technology for use with its handheld scanners, paying Symbol royalties of $10 per scanner.
