A company that generates most of its revenue from patent licensing and litigation has reached an $8 million settlement with some of the technology industry's biggest players over the use of a patent covering the ubiquitous JPEG digital image format. U.S. Patent No. 4,698,672 had been a mainstay for Austin, Texas-based Forgent Networks Inc., bringing in more than $110 million in settlements and licensing fees over the past three years. But Wednesday, Forgent said it had reached a deal with several technology companies -- among them Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc. -- in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

NTP Inc., which successfully sued the maker of BlackBerry devices for infringement of wireless e-mail patents, said Monday it is suing Palm Inc., maker of the Treo smart phone. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, alleges that Palm's products, services, systems and processes have improperly used NTP's wireless e-mail technology. The suit asks the court to bar Palm from "continuing to infringe on NTP's patents" and seeks monetary damages for the alleged past infringements. A telephone message left for a Palm representative on Monday afternoon was not immediately returned. In March, BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. agreed to pay NTP $612.5 million to settle a four-year patent dispute. Though it never conceded wrongdoing, RIM acknowledged that customers had delayed placing new orders due to the threat of a court-ordered shutdown of the BlackBerry system.

Eastman Kodak Company today announced that the Federal Court in the District of Delaware yesterday granted summary judgment on Kodak's behalf in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Ampex Corporation, ruling that Kodak's digital cameras do not infringe a patent owned by Ampex. The decision ends the nearly two-year litigation in the District Court, although Ampex may appeal the ruling to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. "We believe that the Court reached the correct result," said Laura G. Quatela, Managing Director, Intellectual Property Transactions and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. "Kodak is a long-standing innovator in the digital camera industry and we have devoted significant resources to the research and development of our digital capture technologies. We did not believe that Ampex's suit had merit, and the Court agreed with our position." Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:16:20 am into the following categories: In The News11/07/06
Remy International, Inc., filed patent and trademark infringement lawsuits today in the United States Federal District Court for the District of Nevada, against four major manufacturers in the rotating electrical industry. Remy alleges that the Defendants are marketing under Remy's trademarks and/or trade names and are making, importing, using, selling and/or offering to sell to major distributors or retailers in the United States various original equipement alternators and starting motors containing Remy's patented technology. Remy has requested both injunctive relief and damages in its Complaint. Remy's legal action has been brought amidst growing concern with the increasing manufacture and/or importation of patent-infringing products into United States markets. Infringing companies are channeling new "knock-off" parts into both the automotive aftermarket, which has traditionally used remanufactured products, and the original equipment market.
