In an email to Benzinga, Walmart's representative said, "We don't tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind and want all our associates to feel respected. We take this seriously, and the claims raised to our Ethics Department were investigated and were not substantiated. We will respond as appropriate once we are served with the Complaint." Walmart is reportedly facing a patent infringement lawsuit from RavenWhite Licensing as well. The lawsuit alleges that Walmart's website and advertising program infringe on RavenWhite's patents related to processing cookies and serving targeted online advertisements.
