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.

You Can't Spell RFID without "If" 11/03/2003 02:35 PM
Radio frequency identification tags are coming, but are they friend, foe, or just too expensive?: WalMart's mandate of RFID tags on products entering their maelstrom will push the adoption of the technology, but some of the futurists' visions of milk carton's reporting in to their home base when they're empty seem like a combination of The Jetsons and 1984. RFID tags are also way too expensive for this vision of the future -- whether AT&T "You Will" utopic or Brave New World dystopic. The cost has to come way down to make them useful for individual products and shelves. Right now, the palette level is the right price point. (Intrepid staffer Nancy Gohring filed the story for The Seattle Times; Nancy is on vacation this week.)...
