Apple's ongoing legal battle with David Contois is finally over, now that the patent he says Apple stole from him was awarded to the iPod maker in an out-of-court settlement. The patent in question describes how computers manage and download media files to external devices -- in essence, exactly what iTunes does. Michael Starkweather, the attorney who wrote the patent for Contois, said, "That's the billion dollar patent. I believe that, with this patent in hand, Apple will eventually be after every phone company, filmmaker, computer maker and video producer to pay royalties on every download of not just music, but also movies and videos." Contois and his company, Contois Music & Technology, filed a suit against Apple in February 2006 claiming that the iTunes software violated his patent in 21 different ways. At the time, he asked the court for monetary damages and an order to prevent Apple from distributing iTunes. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:05:43 am into the following categories: In The News12/05/06
Drug maker Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Monday it has filed a patent lawsuit against Novartis AG subsidiary Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and privately held Upsher-Smith Laboratories Inc. Savient said its suit alleges infringement of its patents on methods of using Oxandrin, an oral anabolic agent designed to help patients gain weight after weight loss from surgery, infection or severe trauma. The company said its suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for New Jersey. Savient said its lawsuit follows a decision by the Food and Drug Administration late Friday to deny two citizens petitions it filed, and "reliable information" the company has received that the FDA has approved Abbreviated New Drug Applications from both Sandoz and Upsher-Smith.

The world of mobile communications is full of money and full of infringement lawsuits. Freedom Wireless, a Phoenix-based development and technology company that owns patents on systems and methods for providing prepaid wireless telephone services, filed two patent infringement lawsuits in federal court in Marshall, Texas. One suit is against Cingular Wireless LLC, a national wireless carrier, and Ericsson Inc. (ERIC), a prepaid wireless services provider, and the other suit is against Alltel Corporation (AT), also a national wireless carrier, and two prepaid wireless services providers, Comverse, Inc. (CMVT) and VeriSign. The suits allege that the carriers and services providers are infringing three of Freedom Wireless’ patents for prepaid security cellular telecommunications systems that were issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office between 1998 through 2001. Freedom Wireless is seeking unspecified damages and injunctions to prevent continuing infringement of its patents. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:03:39 am into the following categories: In The News12/05/06
