In a twist on the classic David and Goliath formula, Web giant Yahoo is suing Menlo Park, Calif., start-up Xfire for patent infringement. The basis of the complaint, filed last week in a U.S. District Court in Northern California and served on Xfire representatives two days ago, alleges that Xfire is willfully infringing on a patent controlled by Yahoo. The patent, referred to as the '125 patent for the last three numbers of U.S. Patent No. 6,699,125, was granted to two then-Yahoo employees, Brian Gottlieb and Chris Kirmse, on March 2, 2004. As is typical, ownership of inventions by employees remains with the corporation the employees work for. Such ownership rights are usually sealed in hiring contracts signed by employees when they're hired. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:07:09 am into the following categories: In The News02/08/05

Shares of electronic bond trader eSpeed Inc. tumbled nearly 13% after a court ruled that technology used by its biggest rival did not infringe on an eSpeed patent. Manhattan-based eSpeed saw its stock shed as much as 12.8%, during afternoon trading. The ruling came in a pretrial motion Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Kent Jordan, before the beginning of a patent infringement trial. In June 2003, eSpeed, which is partly owned by Cantor Fitzgerald, sued Jersey City-based BrokerTec, claiming the electronic trading arm of ICAP Plc copied its patented trading system. BrokerTec denied the claim, saying the two methods differed--BrokerTec's gives a buyer and seller three seconds of trading exclusivity before allowing others to participate, while eSpeed's does not put a time limit on exclusivity. ESpeed says it will appeal the ruling and may also try to prove infringement by another Icap unit, Garban, according to Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal's online edition.

Lantronix, Inc. today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Digi International, Inc. The suit, filed in the U.S. Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, states that Digi is infringing U.S. Patent No. 4,972,470 ("'470 patent") for a "Programmable Connector."

The patent holder, Acticon Technologies LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Patent Corporation International (GPCI), has joined Lantronix in the suit. The '470 Patent is for a programmable "smart" connector between two or more devices with at least one of the devices being capable of programming the connector through an interface. Lantronix is a pioneer in device servers that provide an easy and economical way to connect virtually any device with a serial port to a network and is the exclusive licensee of the '470 patent within the device server field of use.
