BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Captaris, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CAPA), a leading provider of software products that
automate document-centric business processes, today announced that
the Circuit Court in Cook County, Illinois has granted summary
judgment in favor of Captaris. The summary judgment ruling will
result in the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by Travel 100 Group,
Inc. in July 29, 2003 against Mediterranean Shipping Company
alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
Captaris and its subsidiary MediaTel were brought into the
litigation because MediaTel sent faxes to Travel 100 on behalf of
Mediterranean Shipping Company. In granting summary judgment, the
Court ruled that Travel 100 had invited the facsimile
advertisements and there was no violation of the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act. The plaintiff will have thirty days after the entry
