[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Thursday affirmed a district court's grant of judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) to Microsoft Corp. in a suit involving alleged infringement of digital music patents held by Alcatel-Lucent. The court ruled that of the two patents, Microsoft had not infringed one and had a license for the other. The court reasoned:A grant of JMOL is appropriate when 'the evidence, construed in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, permits ony one reasonable conclusion and that conclusion is contrary to the jury's...A patentee may rely on either direct or circumstantial evidence to prove infringement. In order to prove direct infringement, a patentee must either point to specific instances of direct infringement or show that the accused device necessarily infringes the Patent in suit. Lucent did not show specific instances of direct infringement. Instead, Lucent relied on circumstantial evidence to attempt to show that Microsoft's Windows Media Player necessary infringes Patent. The district court found, however, that the circumstantial evidence presented by Lucent established only uncertainty and speculation as to whether had run even once...Lucent has failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that actually runs on Windows Media Player and thus it would be too speculative to conclude that Windows Media Pladecisionyer necessarily infringes Patent.

A few days ago, I wrote that CSIRO had come out on top in an Appeal by Buffalo of a district court decision: CSIRO, the Australian technology agent, has a broad Patent that appears to cover aspects of OFDM, a technique for improving throughput in multi-path (reflective) signal environments. OFDM is used in 802.11a, g, and n, as well as in WiMax, and other wireless technologies. CSIRO has Cisco signed as a licensee, as Cisco bought an Australian firm a few years ago (this covers Linksys as well), but other makers are fighting. Buffalo lost a district court decision and has an injunction preventing the import of Wi-Fi gear, which has likely cost them tens of millions of dollars. They're a leading seller in their founding country of Japan. A few weeks ago, I picked up an item from ZDnet's Australian branch stating that CSIRO had won an Appeal. It appears that's inaccurate. While extremely technical in only a way that a court decision about patents can be, Buffalo won the Appeal on a very narrow argument about the obviousness of the combination of two IEEE papers related to the CSIRO Patent. Another issue, about how the original Patent application covered 10 GHz and higher but was amended to covers the entire range of radio frequencies, appears to be set aside. Buffalo issued a press release . ...

Australian tech office wins Appeal: Buffalo sinks further into the hole as it loses its Appeal against a judgement over its use of what the Australian CSIRO technical agency asserts is its patented technology used in all 802.11 implementations. The case, in the Patent-holder-friendly US Eastern District Court of Texas--a venue that may be dethroned as a forum coveniens for patentholders' suits in new legislation--prevents Buffalo from importing or selling gear in the US with Wi-Fi technology embedded. In Japan, the Patent office threw out CSIRO's Patent. While Cisco paid CSIRO as the result of an acquisition of an Australian company a few years ago, most US-based technology giants are involved in resisting the Patent's continued validation and enforcement. I've read the Patent and some of the suits, and as a non-Patent expert, it's clear CSIRO original invention didn't cover what's at stake. However, CSIRO was allowed in a subsequent filing to extend its Patent to cover already-in-use technology in a way that seems odd to me, but happens in patents all the time. Many millions of dollars and many more years may be expended before a resolution happens. CSIRO apparently isn't asking for insane fees, although anything paid to them would be passed along to consumers. If companies settled, this might result in an increase of 1 to 5 percent on retail prices. It may ultimately effect WiMax, too, though no suits in that area have been fil ...
