Data integration software provider Informatica Corp. said Monday a jury awarded it $25 million in a patent infringement lawsuit against business intelligence software maker Business Objects. According to Informatica, the jury in a San Francisco federal court found that Business Objects willfully infringed on two of its patents. Because the jury found the infringement willful, the company said, the judge on the case is allowed to increase the award up to three times the damages amount. Informatica filed the suit in July 2002, asserting that the Actaworks product, which is now sold by Business Objects as Data Integrator, violated its patents. The company said it will ask for a permanent injunction to prevent Business Objects from shipping the infringing product. Informatica also said it expects Business Objects to appeal the decision.

Bloomberg is reporting that Apple was recently added to a patent infringement lawsuit concerning its use of Bluetooth in many of its products. Apple is in good company. Along with Apple, the nonprofit Washington Research Foundation added Dell, Sony, and five other technology companies to a long-standing suit that already included the likes of Samsung, Matsushita (that's Panasonic to you and me), and Nokia among others. Say what you will about Washington Research Foundation, they certainly aren't afraid to go straight to the top. The lawsuit accuses the companies of infringing on four patents that cover "technology that lets users exchange data among mobile phones, personal computers and other devices without using cables," and more specifically at chipsets made by CSR Plc. The WRF, which is affiliated with the University of Washington, is asking for damages of more than $150 million and for the courts to bar the sales of any infringing technology.
