Finnish cell phone giant Nokia agreed to pay U.S.-based InterDigital Commmunications $253 million to quash a long-running patent dispute over 2G handsets. In exchange for Nokia's payment and agreement to end appeals before U.S. and UK courts of a 2005 ruling, InterDigital will grant Nokia a paid-up license for 2G TDMA equipment and infrastructure. InterDigital, which specializes in making wireless modems, will not enforce its three UK patents and will allow Nokia to continue to make and sell unlicensed 3G terminal units. While the pact absolves Nokia of patent infringement liability through April 26, future licensing by Nokia of InterDigital 3G technology is in doubt. A 1999 license agreement set to expire at the end of April will not be renewed. As a result, Nokia's sale of 3G products after the 26th will be unlicensed, according to the Prussia, Pa.-based InterDigital.

As part of ongoing efforts to protect its intellectual property, DuPont today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against MacDermid, Inc. and MacDermid Printing Solutions, L.L.C. on U.S. patents relating to its DuPont Cyrel(R) FAST technology. The suit was filed in federal court in Denver, Colo. DuPont claims MacDermid has manufactured, used, offered for sale and sold flexographic plates, including products marketed under the names Magma and MLT, that are covered by a DuPont U.S. patent related to thermal flexographic technology. The suit also claims that MacDermid has actively induced others to infringe on another DuPont U.S. patent through offers to sell, advertise and promote thermal flexographic printing systems. DuPont is seeking monetary damages and demanding that MacDermid stop further acts of infringement associated with these products.

Emboldened by a recent victory in a patent lawsuit, wireless e-mail software provider Visto Corp. said Monday it is suing Research in Motion Ltd., the maker of BlackBerry mobile devices, over similar claims. It's the latest twist in the tangle of legal battles over wireless e-mail, the most highly publicized of which ended in March with RIM agreeing to pay NTP Inc. $612.5 million to settle a four-year dispute. Visto, a privately held Redwood Shores-based company, provides e-mail software to cell-phone companies, including Sprint Nextel Corp. and Vodafone Group. It filed a lawsuit against RIM in federal court for the Eastern District of Texas on Friday, the same day a jury there handed it a legal victory in its patent infringement case against rival Seven Networks Inc. The jury found that Redwood City-based Seven had infringed on three of Visto's mobile e-mail patents and awarded Visto about $3.6 million in damages.

International Game Technology has sued Bally Technologies Incorporated, claiming one of its rival's lines of gambling products infringes on IGT patents. In the lawsuit filed in Federal Court in Delaware, the Reno-based slot maker claims Bally products that offer system-driven bonuses for casino "slot club" gamblers infringe on at least nine IGT patents. Also named in the suit announced today by IGT were Bally subsidiaries Bally Gaming International and Bally Gaming. Officials for Las Vegas-based Bally declined to comment. At issue is "Bally power bonusing" technology used to reward loyal gamblers. Such systems award bonus points that can be redeemed differently at casinos. The suit seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, a preliminary and permanent injunction, and a finding of infringement.
