A patent war involving leading mobile phone and chip makers intensified on Monday, with Qualcomm announcing it was suing Nokia for infringement of a dozen of its patents. The move by the US mobile chip maker appeared to be a response to last month's complaints to the European Commission by Nokia and five other companies that Qualcomm was being anti-competitive in refusing to license its patents to the industry on "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms." Qualcomm said it filed suit on Friday in a federal court in San Diego alleging infringement of 11 of its patents and one owned by its subsidiary SnapTrack.

Chief Justice John Roberts has removed himself from a patent infringement case because of a conflict, acknowledging he made a mistake in taking part in the early stages of the appeal. Roberts didn't explain why he recused himself from the case, which justices announced on Monday that they would review. His former law firm filed the appeal on behalf of Burlington-based Laboratory Corporation. The company is accused of infringing on the patent for a test that helps predict strokes, heart attacks and dementia. In February, the Supreme Court had asked the Bush administration to weigh in on whether the case should be argued at the court. The administration recommended that the justices reject the appeal. It was considered a surprise when the court agreed to take the case.

A local Atlanta based wireless communications research development company IPCO LLC "plaintiff" accused a wireless technology provider for utility meter reading products, Cellnet Technology, Inc. "defendant", of patent infringement, IPCO LLC will seek upward of $200 million in total damages, according to sources from IPCO LLC. According to IPCO LLC, Cellnet Technology, Inc., wireless system for automatic meter reading willfully and deliberately infringes IPCO's U.S. Patent No. 6,249,516, which was issued to the plaintiff in 2001. IPCO filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. "IPCO has suffered damages as a result of Cellnet's infringement of the '516 Patent and will continue to suffer damages and irreparable harm in the future unless Cellnet is enjoined from infringing further the '516 Patent," says Joel Goldman, Vice President General Council for IPCO LLC.

BriteSmile Development, Inc. ("BDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BriteSmile, Inc. (NasdaqSC: BSML) filed on October 28, 2005, a patent infringement suit against competitor, Discus Dental, Inc. ("Discus") in federal court in California. The suit alleges that Discus' Zoom! 2 tooth whitening system infringes a patent issued to BDI on October 25, 2005, because it employs a high pH pre- treatment prior to contacting teeth with a hydrogen peroxide composition. BriteSmile and Discus have been involved in patent litigation since 2002 over patents directed to novel tooth whitening technology owned by BriteSmile and BDI. The new suit alleges that, as a result of that litigation, Discus attempted to reformulate its tooth whitening products to avoid infringement -- including launching the Zoom! 2 Chairside Whitening System. The new suit alleges that, despite the reformulation, the Zoom! 2 system infringes the newly issued BDI patent. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:01:44 am into the following categories: In The News
