Appeals court ruling could be 'death' of software patents
2013-05-11 00:05:55| InfoWorld: Top News
A U.S. appeals court has ruled that an abstract idea is not patentable simply because it is tied to a computer system, signaling what one judge described as the "death" of software and business method patents. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled Friday that four patents held by electronic marketplace Alice are too abstract for a patent, despite a long-standing legal assumption that software running on a computer is eligible for patents.

Microsoft wins court ruling cutting Motorola licensing rates
2013-04-26 10:20:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A US judge has sided with Microsoft in the first round of a patent dispute with Google's Motorola Mobility, over how much Microsoft should pay to license standards-essential video and Wi-Fi patents held by Motorola. In a ruling in Seattle, District Judge James Robart ruled that the fair rate Microsoft should pay for using Motorola's intellectual property in its products were just a few cents per unit, rather than the several dollars Motorola had sought, the Financial Times reports. This means an annual royalty owed by Microsoft of USD 1.8 million, rather than the hundreds of millions of dollars Motorola had demanded. The judge's ruling sets a template for future royalty negotiations for standards-essential patents and will form the basis of a forthcoming jury trial to determine whether the difference between what Motorola had demanded and the final price determined by the judge constitutes a breach of its contract to Microsoft. Motorola maintained that it licenses its patents at "reasonable rates consistent with those set by others in the industry". It may still appeal the ruling.
