6,950,933 Method and system for management and notification of electronic certificate changes
Issued: September 27, 2005
Filed: May 19, 2000
U.S. Class: 713/158
Abstract: A system for notification of a change in condition of an electronic certificate is disclosed. The system includes a certificate server comprising a processor having a computer program comprising a plurality of executable modules that are executable on the processor. A first executable module is for detecting a change in condition of an electronic certificate. A second executable module in the computer program is for notifying a user of the electronic certificate of the change in condition. The computer program may comprise a third module for negotiating a contract, called a certificate action point (CAP), with the certificate user regarding the type of change in condition the second module notifies the certificate user of, the way the second module notifies the certificate user, the diligence with which the second module notifies the certificate user of the change in condition, and a price for notifying the certificate user. The change in condition may comprise revocation of, roll-over of, change in field of, disablement of, expiration of the electronic certificate, or other type of change in condition of an electronic recognized by those skilled in the art. An updated electronic certificate may be forwarded to the certificate user, thereby updating the electronic certificate with respect to the certificate user to the new version of the electronic certificate. Alternatively, the certificate user may selectively download an updated version of the electronic certificate from the certificate server.

Denmark's Novo Nordisk, the world's largest maker of diabetes drugs, on Thursday said it was suing Sanofi-Aventis for infringing patents related to the FlexPen insulin delivery device. Novo said it filed the lawsuit in a Delaware Federal court earlier this month. It seeks an injunction against Sanofi's OptiClik pen delivery system and accuses the French drug maker, the world's third-largest, and certain of its U.S., German and Swiss affiliates, of "willful and deliberate patent infringement." Novo's FlexPen is a widely used insulin delivery device in the United States and is used with several of the company's brands of injectable insulin. The OptiClik pen system is Sanofi's only insulin delivery device approved in the U.S. and is used with all of its U.S. insulin products. James Shehan, Novo's general counsel, said the case could go to trial in 2007.

a federal jury rendered a verdict in favor of Acumed LLC, finding that one of its competitors, Stryker Corporation, infringed on an Acumed patent. The jury awarded damages in favor of Acumed for $458,853. It also made a finding of willfulness, which allows the Court to treble the damages and award attorneys' fees. The patent in question relates to a specialized rod that is considered cutting edge and used for the treatment of bone fractures. "This is an important win for Acumed," said Alan Kozlowski, Acumed's President. "Stryker was using its rod l to target Acumed's customers, so it was important to stop them from infringing our patent." Acumed's founder, Randall Huebner, invented the rod, which was the first rod specifically designed for treating proximal humeral bone fractures. Acumed has been selling its rod, called the Polarus, since 1994. Stryker began impermissibly selling its rod in 2004.
