Supreme Court intervenes in patent dispute between Microsoft, AT&T
10/31/06

The Supreme Court said Friday it would intervene in a patent dispute between giants Microsoft Corp. and AT&T Corp. over Windows programs distributed overseas. An appeals court ruled that Microsoft had infringed on an AT&T patent for a type of speech-coding technology. The outcome could be worth more than $1 billion to Microsoft if the justices find that the lower court ruling improperly extended U.S. patent protections to overseas transactions, said Dennis Crouch, a visiting law professor at Boston University. “Almost every patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft asks for damages for U.S. sales as well as foreign export sales,” Crouch said. Microsoft has acknowledged its liability for domestic sales.

Synergetics asks court to dismiss Iridex patent infringement case
10/31/06

Synergetics USA Inc. made its first effort at having the courts throw out a pending patent infringement lawsuit brought by Iridex Corp. against the firm. Synergetics said Thursday that it filed its first motion for summary judgment, which is a request made by the defendant, Synergetics, to the court that asserts that the plaintiff, Iridex, has raised no genuine issue to be tried based on their failure to timely bring the claim and asks the judge to rule in favor of the defense. If the court agrees, the damages and injunctive relief sought by Iridex could be eliminated altogether or significantly reduced, according to a release. The move by Synergetics stems from a suit Iridex filed Oct. 19, 2005, against Synergetics alleging patent infringement. Iridex, of Mountain View, Calif., alleged that Synergetics infringed on its patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,085,492) for laser probe technology used in its EndoProbe products and other laser-delivery devices.
