Palm Inc. said Tuesday it settled a patent infringement lawsuit filed nine years ago by Xerox Corp. for $22.5 million. Sunnyvale-based Palm, which makes hand-held computers and phones, said the dispute was over "Graffiti" software -- which is called "Unistrokes" by Rochester, N.Y.-based Xerox -- that lets users enter their data through alphabet-type symbols on their Palm screens. In April 1997, Xerox sued, claiming that the handwriting-recognition technology infringed a Xerox patent. With the agreement, Palm will receive a fully paid-up license for three Xerox patents, including Unistrokes, and a seven-year mutual covenant not to sue for patent infringement within certain fields of use.

Linux leader Red Hat has been named in a patent infringement lawsuit in Texas in connection with its recently acquired JBoss Hibernate 3.0 technology. In its complaint, which is provided online by the blog Patently-O, Delaware-based FireStar Software claims the now Red Hat-owned object/relational persistence and query service product infringes on a patented method of interfacing object-oriented software applications and relational databases. The company alleges that Red Hat's JBoss Hibernate 3.0 product, as well as marketing, distribution and support related to the offering, infringe on FireStar's U.S. patent issued in 2000. FireStar is claiming damages and a need for injunctive relief, and is seeking a jury trial on its infringement claims.

Intermec Inc. said it's suing Alien Technology for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

Two of Alien Technologies RFID readers infringe on its patents, Intermec said. Alien Technologies officials said they haven't seen the lawsuit and couldn't comment. Intermec added that it filed a motion to dismiss a declaratory judgment action filed by Alien in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota.
