Under the two-year agreement, announced Monday, Infineon will pay Rambus nearly $47 million for a global license to all existing and future Rambus patents and patent applications for use in Infineon products. The licensing fees, which will be paid on a quarterly basis beginning Nov. 15, will conclude in 2007. After that period, Infineon may make additional quarterly payments that can accumulate up to $100 million, provided other DRAM manufacturers enter into licensing arrangements with Rambus. "We are satisfied with these terms (of the settlement), and we believe they're in the best interest of our shareholders," Harold Hughes, Rambus' CEO, said during a conference call with analysts. However, "the terms of this agreement should not be extrapolated to future agreements with other companies and are unique to these circumstances."

Bausch & Lomb (NYSE:BOL) announces a settlement agreement ending a patent dispute relating to Alcon's ICAPS(R) AREDS product. The agreement establishes a cross-licensing relationship that permits Alcon to continue to sell its AREDS-based nutraceutical product worldwide, and grants Bausch & Lomb global rights under one or more Alcon patents. The confidential terms of the agreement were approved by Bausch & Lomb's licensor, the United States Public Health Service. Bausch & Lomb filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Alcon in U.S. District Court in Rochester immediately after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent for the unique high-potency antioxidant and mineral formula in Bausch & Lomb's Ocuvite(R) PreserVision(TM), the only dietary supplement demonstrated to preserve eye health and vision in the National Eye Institute's landmark Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit made a decision on Wednesday in the appeal of the MercExchange v. eBay and Half.com patent lawsuit. The court affirmed in part, reversed in part, vacated in part and remanded. Two years ago, a jury declared eBay had willfully infringed MercExchange's consignment fixed-price and software search agent patents. A judge had afterwards denied eBay's motion for a new trial in the MercExchange patent lawsuit and ruled eBay pay MercExchange $29.5 million in damages for patent infringement. A jury originally awarded damages of $35 million, using GMS (Gross Merchandise Sales) as the base in computing the royalty. MercExchange has yet to see a check as the case winds its way through the appeals process. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:04:06 am into the following categories: In The News03/22/05
Shares of Canadian tech standout Research In Motion Ltd., soared Wednesday after the maker of the ubiquitous Blackberry wireless e-mail devices said it would pay $450 million to settle a patent infringement suit. The payout to NTP, a Virginia company, ends a drawn-out legal battle in which Canada's government interceded after U.S. courts had favored the plaintiff. The settlement should make it easier for Research In Motion to license its technology for use in other mobile devices. Under the agreement, NTP grants Research In Motion the right to continue its BlackBerry-related business without further interference from NTP or its patents.

The Chicago Tribune (Jim Mateja) is reporting that Ford has settled a patent infringement action initiated by individual inventor, Frank Weyer. In the suit, Weyer accused Ford of infringing his patent that covers a "user selectable multi-color automobile instrument panel illumination." (Patent No. 5,975,728). Ford's new 2005 Mustang had planned to include a MyColor feature that reportedly infringes. According to the Tribune, “Ford had been barred from offering its My Color option or delivering cars with it because of the suit, but now can start sales and shipments.” Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:02:14 am into the following categories: In The News
