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.
