Microsoft Win On Patents Reversed

Microsoft Win On Patents Reversed 07/06/2004 04:42 PM
Gary Potter writes "Seems that a federal court in California granted a Microsoft motion to invalidate two patents for an ergonomic keyboard. Microsoft argued their claims pre-dated those of TypeRight Keyboard Corp. Then, in a twist of events, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington DC said there was "genuine issue" with the credibility of a Microsoft witness. Bottom line, the invalidity judgment was improperly granted. Next step, trial and lots of billable hours by lawyers." The article is pretty sketchy on details, but it certainly appears to imply that someone fudged the prior art proof.

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.
