Trial date set in JPEG patent case

Trial date set in JPEG patent case 02/05/2005 10:11 PM
A trial date has been set in a major patent infringement case involving 41 major hardware and software vendors, including Apple and Dell, and a company claiming the rights to an algorithm used in the JPEG picture file format. Austin-based Forgent Networks Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Compression Labs Inc. are suing 41 companies for allegedly infringing on the JPEG-related patent for digital image compression. The patent has garnered about $100 million for Forgent in licensing fees during the past three years. In use since the mid-1980s, the JPEG, or Joint Photographic Experts Group, format has become standard for sharing photo-quality images electronically. Although the most widely used version of the format is in the public domain, Forgent said it believes that a 17-year-old patent it acquired through the purchase of Compression Labs in 1997 can be applied to a specific algorithm in the format. According to the Austin Business Journal, pre-trial proceedings are scheduled to start April 28 in East Texas, with a jury trial to begin in October. News of the trial date this morning sent stock for Forgent Networks Inc. soaring to a 34 percent increase to $2.75 per share.

Belkin TuneDok iPod Car Holder Review

Belkin TuneDok iPod Car Holder Review 06/11/2004 08:17 AM

Far be it from me to begrudge anyone the opportunity to tear apart a ridiculous consumer product, but no matter what the guys at Whining Dog say, I think this Belkin TuneDok iPod holder is pretty clever. It's basically just a simple travel holder for your iPod, doesn't do anything terribly fancy, or electronic, even, but it does have the good graces to slip comfortably into any available cupholder you have in your car, putting your iPod at a more comfortable eye-level (hopefully) and saving it from unsightly scratches.

You might say the $40 price tag sort isn't in line with its overall usefulness, and you'd be right, but when these things invariably drop to $9.98 at your local Best Buy, it's not going to look like such a rip off.
