"This license agreement is another step forward in our on-going efforts to realize the full value of our patent for electronic invoice presentment and payment technology," said Marc Filion, Executive Vice-President at Emergis. "We are taking all necessary steps to ensure our patent rights are respected."

Emergis Technologies was granted a U.S. patent in March 2000 for a process for the electronic receipt and payment of invoices. Emergis no longer offers an electronic invoicing and payment service, but it has retained ownership of the patent.

Midwest Energy is an electric and natural gas utility serving nearly 90,000 customers in 42 central and western Kansas counties.
