Large Audience Display Systems claims in a federal lawsuit in Texas, obtained by TMZ, the concerts in question included a large audience display screen that was identical to their patented, gigantic monitors.
Britney uses the screen on her "Circus" tour. Justin used the monitors on his "FutureSex/LoveShow" tour.
Also sued: The Pussycat Dolls for using the screens as well.
The company wants an injunction prohibiting the defendants from using knockoffs in the future, as well as unspecified damages.

Maria Sharapova has three Grand Slam tennis titles under her belt ... and the guy she's holding hands with -- L.A. Laker Sasha Vujacic -- is wearing a brand new NBA championship ring.
If the 6'2" and 6'7" athletes -- who were spotted walking around L.A. today -- ever have a kid ... doctors will have to have a "No sports agents allowed" rule in the delivery room.

Usually when athletes date celebrities, the only thing that skyrockets faster than their street cred is the number in their team's loss column ... but when it comes to Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, the L.A. Lakers say they're A-OK.
We asked a team rep if the Kardashian Klan's presence at Tuesday night's season opener is going to set off a firestorm of Laker loses, and here's what we got:
"Good luck? Bad luck? I don't know that I believe in luck but we¹ll be happy to have them there ... we're happy to have Lamar¹s new family members at the game as well as future games, and we welcome their support."
Easy to say when you have Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest and Pau Gasol wearing purple and gold.

This is the woman Lamar Odom dated for 10 years -- the mother of his children -- Liza Morales. Do you think she's happy about his wedding to Khloe Kardashian ... who he's been dating for a month?

The Lakers-Clippers cross town rivalry may extend to bachelor parties -- because the L.A. Clippers organization is vehemently denying that its players attended Lamar Odom's shindig last night ... even though a few Clip-squaders were at the same restaurant at the same time.
Moments ago, reps from the Clippers told us the 5 players we saw coming and going from STK last night were only at the restaurant for a Clippers team dinner ... a dinner that happened to be scheduled for the exact same time and place as Lamar's party.
So even though we asked Clipper player Marcus Camby "how was the party" -- and he responded, "It was cool" ... he must've been talking about the Clippers' "dinner" party ... and not the stripperless, midgetless bachelor party going on in the same place.
So sleep well Clippers fans ... once again your team was left out of the party everyone wanted to be at.

There weren't any "midgets" or stripper poles -- that we know of -- but Lamar Odom still managed to pull together some sort of bachelor party at the last minute.
Joe Francis and Rob Kardashian's planned bash at Les Deux got the boot in favor of a dinner at STK and a little livin' it up at Guys and Dolls with his Lakers teammates. His two original party-planners also tagged along.
We got Odom's crew pulling up to both places -- and they were definitely rollin' in style.

Kobe Bryant will be front and center at the Lamar Odom/Khloe Kardashian nuptials this Sunday ... which means Vanessa and her $4 million ring may have a few pointers for the bride.
In fact, Lamar's rep tells TMZ all the players are planning to attend, but there are still a few question marks. Several have not RSVP'd -- Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar.
Can't blame the non-committals ... it is last minute, after all.

Lamar Odom will get the necessary training for marrying into the Kardashian klan ... because his bachelor party is being thrown by the original "Girls Gone Wild."
TMZ has learned Joe Francis is hosting Lamar's swan song to bachelorhood tomorrow at Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood. It will be a formal affair ... with stripper poles and "midgets."
Here's the good news -- Khloe's brother Rob will be there to keep an eye on Lamar ... unless he's distracted by the midgets and stripper poles.

Yes, this wedding's really happening, so cookware specialists at Williams-Sonoma should expect a few Lakers stopping by in the next few days -- Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom just registered there.
Wedding etiquette states you get up to a year from the big day to give a gift. Our suggestion: Wait a couple months, see if this one lasts.

Orlando fans weren't the only ones who couldn't care less about the Los Angeles Lakers' victory parade yesterday. Jerry Buss -- the dude who owns the team lock, stock and barrel -- had better things to do ... playing poker at a cheesy casino all by his lonesome.
Jerry was so engrossed in his hand at the Bicycle Casino -- 10 miles from the parade route -- he wasn't even looking up at live TV coverage of the celebration. We're thinkin' any other owner would be leading the band!
Turns out, this is S.O.P. for Jerry. His peeps tell us Buss has never attended a championship parade because he hates the traffic and the attention.
Hope he's not bettin' with the Lamar Odom money ....

After Team Kobe Bryant choked hardcore major bigtime to the Boston Celtics last night, everyone's favorite role model had some great advice for the kids -- drown your sorrows in a butt-load of alcohol!
During the press conference after the game, Kobe said he was going to "wine" and "take shots." Isn't that all he did during the game?
