Intel pays 17-year-old patent suit settlement
10/25/05

How's 17 years for a start-up's payback time? It was a big surprise last week when Intel agreed to pay $300 million to former high-flier MicroUnity to settle patent claims. John Moussouris, chief executive of MicroUnity, founded his company in 1988 to make a new breed of communications chips. The company raised $200 million from Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and others. It recruited a raft of talent and even built its own chip factory in Sunnyvale. But the company predated the Internet's rise and never quite pulled it all together. Moussouris saved the company by cutting back to a skeleton crew, selling off the factory and licensing the chip making technology.

HP Protects Intellectual Property in Ink Technology
10/25/05

HP today notified Cartridge World North America that it has discovered infringements of an HP ink patent in inks sold by multiple Cartridge World franchisees. The infringements were discovered as part of ongoing worldwide testing and enforcement efforts within HP's Imaging and Printing Group in order to protect its intellectual property rights. In March 2005, the same initiative also uncovered ink patent infringements in certain InkCycle cartridges sold under the Staples brand. HP and InkCycle quickly resolved the matter after InkCycle changed its ink formulations.

Hyperion Files Patent Infringement Claim Against HyperRoll
10/25/05

Hyperion has filed a patent infringement claim against HyperRoll. Hyperion also said it remains confident that its declaratory judgment action filed against HyperRoll will additionally establish that Hyperion has not infringed any of HyperRoll's patents. Hyperion filed a declaratory judgment action in Federal District Court for the Northern District of California against HyperRoll on November 30, 2004. Hyperion also filed a request for reexamination of a HyperRoll patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Patent Office accepted the request, reexamined the patent, and issued a notice of allowance of the patent's claims. According to the rules of the Patent Office, Hyperion was not permitted to participate in the proceeding.
