Toshiba and Microsoft have signed a cross-licensing pact covering computer and consumer electronics products technologies, the companies said Friday. The agreement was signed in late April and allows the companies to freely use a number of each other's patents, said Makoto Yasuda, a spokesman from Toshiba. Spokesmen from Toshiba and Microsoft declined to discuss how many patents were included in the agreement, or how long the agreement is valid. "I am afraid it's confidential," Yasuda said. The deal follows a December 2003 decision by Microsoft to enter into cross-licensing deals with key partners, said Kazunori Ishii, a spokesman at Microsoft's Japanese unit. Since then, Microsoft has also signed cross-licensing deals with a number of companies including Siemens SAP, he said. Toshiba isn't the first major Japanese electronics maker to sign such an agreement. Last December, Sony signed a five-year cross-licensing deal with Samsung Electronics covering a total of 24,000 patents owned by the two companies, as part of a move to reduce costs and potential friction between the two companies, Sony said.

A Delaware jury has ruled against four of five patent infringement claims made two years ago by Lucent against network services vendor Extreme Networks. In a statement Tuesday, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Extreme Networks said the jury awarded Lucent $274,990 in damages for one patent infringement claim sought by Lucent but found the company not guilty on the other four charges. The award could have been as high as $16.4 million had the jury ruled against Extreme Networks on the other four patent infringement charges. Extreme Networks said the unspecified networking feature that led to the jury's award has been removed from the company's products for more than a year.

ITC Judge Issues Initial Determination That Fortinet Infringes Trend Micro's Patent Involving Server-Based Antivirus Technology -- Recommends That the Commission Exclude Fortinet's Antivirus Firewall Products From United States and Issue Cease-and-Desist Order to Stop Further Infringements. Trend Micro, Inc., a global leader in antivirus and content security, has been informed that a U.S. International Trade Commission judge issued a decision in the company's favor in the unfair import proceeding Trend Micro brought against Fortinet. In his initial determination, the ITC judge determined that Fortinet's FortiGate antivirus firewall appliance products infringe Trend Micro's U.S. patent 5,623,600, covering server-based antivirus technology. As a result, the judge has recommended that the ITC issue an order prohibiting Fortinet from importing FortiGate products into the United States and a cease-and-desist order to stop Fortinet from infringing the patent in the United States.

Remy International, Inc. has prevailed in its patent infringement lawsuit against Evensen Enterprises, Inc. of Mira Loma, California. The case against Evensen in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in which Remy asserted infringement of various patents related to the GM-Remy automotive alternator technology was resolved by a settlement agreement between the parties. Pursuant to that agreement, Evensen has certified that, by virtue of the sale of its Orange County Alternators business to BBB of Mobile, Alabama, on June 4, 2004, Evensen ceased all infringing activity with regard to Remy's alternator and starter patents and has made a payment to Remy for past infringement. BBB has agreed to stop selling alternators and starters which infringe the Remy Patents and to purchase future related products from approved Remy supply channels. In return for Evensen's certification and payment, Remy dismissed its claims against Evensen. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:18:18 am into the following categories: In The News

. Relative weighting of the spectral components of each pixel is performed to classify each pixel as either not representing human skin or as possibly representing human skin. For those sets of adjacent pixels that possibly represent human skin, a brightness test is performed to determine whether the set of pixels represents a curved surface. A statistical analysis evaluates the run length of each such set of pixels. Display of the graphic image file is allowed or disallowed based on the results of the foregoing analyses.
