Federal Trade Commision: Patent Reform, Part II

December 28, 2008

Address by Chief Judge Paul Michel to the FTC Commission on Evolving IP Marketplace | www.cafc.uscourts.gov

The Federal Trade Commission attracted significant attention five years ago when it issued a report broadly questioning patent system doctrines and procedures.  Now, the FTC is back, this time gathering empirical evidence and working to put forward more targeted reforms that could find their way into patent reform legislation.

IDCC: Next up, Nokia

December 28, 2008

Form 8-K for InterDigital | biz.yahoo.com

InterDigital has settled its 3G dispute with Samsung, for an amount still largely unknown.  Now all eyes turn to Nokia.

Does TiVo Have a Lock on DVR Technology?

December 28, 2008

Cablevision Plays a New Recorder Tune | www.fool.com

One of TiVo's long-loved charms was that its patented DVR technology seemed to give it a bit of control over the now-crowded and increasingly popular DVR market.  But holes continue to emerge, among them the Dish litigation and the RS-DVR.

TSRA: Now, the Appeal

December 28, 2008

Tessera to Request Full ITC Review of ALJ Initial Determination | biz.yahoo.com

TSRA has now lost the initial round of its much-watched ITC case, but the company clearly wants us to think that the loss is on a discrete methodology question that can likely be reversed on appeal.  The only problem for us?  We can't really judge that claim ... yet.

Did IDCC Win?

November 26, 2008

InterDigital ends patent dispute with Samsung | biz.yahoo.com

The news out today reports that Samsung and IDCC have settled their 3G patent dispute, at least until 2012.  But the settlement does not as of yet give us a clear picture of who actually won.
