Einstein's Notes is facing a lawsuit for allegedly selling notes from a UF professor's lectures without permission.
Faulkner Press, the software company used to supplement courses, filed the 63-page federal lawsuit on Tuesday against Einstein's Notes, a Gainesville business that sells class notes taken by student employees.
Jim Sullivan, a Gainesville attorney representing Faulkner Press in the city's U.S. district court, said note-takers hired by Einstein's have copied lecture notes from UF professor Michael Moulton without permission since 2007.
Moulton teaches Wildlife Issues in a Changing World and Biodiversity Conservation: Global Perspectives, a large lecture class that requires students to buy electronic textbooks printed by Faulkner.
The lawsuit also accuses Einstein's Notes of copying practice questions from Moulton's Web site and software published by Faulkner for student handouts.
