Chemical producer Celanese Corp. on Tuesday said it won $28 million in a patent infringement lawsuit against China Petrochemical Development Corp. A Taiwanese court ruled that China Petrochemical infringed on Celanese's acetic acid patents and awarded damages for the years 1995 to 1999, Celanese said. The company added that while the decision may be appealed, it expects to prevail due to the validity of its patents. David Weidman, Celanese's president and chief executive, said the ruling "reinforces Celanese's position as the technology leader in acetic acid."

A developer of predictive text input technology for mobile devices sued Research In Motion (RIM) this week, claiming that RIM's BlackBerry 7100 series of devices infringes on its patents. In court filings in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, Eatoni Ergonomics claimed it owns a fundamental patent on small keyboards that look and act like full-sized keyboards. The company has asked the court to issue an injunction preventing the manufacture and sale of the devices. "The problem is that the RIM 7100 is good, good enough to infringe the patent, but not good enough to create a new standard for mobile text entry," Howard Gutowitz, Eatoni's CEO, said in a statement. "That's why we have to stop it now, and hopefully convince RIM and others to introduce new devices which implement the technology properly." Eatoni was granted a U.S. patent entitled "Touch-Typable Devices Based on Ambiguous Codes and Methods to Design Such Devices." The suit also names T-Mobile USA, which sells BlackBerry devices.

Rubbermaid Home Products today announced it has reached a settlement of its patent infringement lawsuit brought against Plano Molding Company of Plano, Illinois. Under the terms of the settlement, Plano will discontinue selling the products which were at issue in the lawsuit and has agreed to pay Rubbermaid an undisclosed royalty for previous sales of certain Plano plastic shelving products. In a lawsuit filed earlier this year in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Fairlawn, Ohio-based Rubbermaid accused Plano of infringing on Rubbermaid's U.S. patent relating to plastic shelving products. "We are pleased with the resolution of this matter, which is one of our many efforts currently pending or anticipated," said Dave Lumley, president of Rubbermaid Home Products.

A federal court dismissed a patent lawsuit against Color Kinetics Inc. Thursday, deciding that the plaintiff did not own the patent in question and was only a non-exclusive licensee. The plaintiff, Super Vision International Inc. (Nasdaq: SUPVA), plans to file another suit against Boston-based Color Kinetics (Nasdaq: CLRK) rather than appeal the ruling. Orlando-based Super Vision said the decision was procedural and not based on the merits of the company's claim against Color Kinetics. Super Vision sued Boston-based Color Kinetics in March 2004 alleging that Color Kinetics infringed on a patent relating to variable color lighting. Color Kinetics develops and sells solid-state lighting systems. Super Vision claimed it had acquired the patent from High End Systems the day before filing suit against Color Kinetics. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and sought damages of $10.5 million. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:18:20 am into the following categories: In The News
