Google Caught In Another Patent Dispute

,----[ Quote ]
| It looks like at least a few of Google's lawyers who specialize 
| in patent law are about to get some work to do.  Google - along 
| with Adobe - has been sued by a company named Textscape because 
| the search giant allegedly violated a patent Textscape was 
| granted in 1998.

Federal Court Partially Invalidates One of EFF
Most Wanted Patents: Acacia Research Streaming Media

,----[ Quote ]
| Ten claims from the Acacia Research Streaming Media Patent have 
| been invalidated by the U.S.District Court for the Northern 
| District of California. The Court invalidated the remaining 
| claims that had been asserted in the litigation, after several 
| others had been dropped from the suit by Acacia. EFF was not 
| involved in the case, which was brought by Acacia against 
| leading satellite and cable companies, Echostar, DirectTV, Time 
| Warner Cable and CSC Holdings, Inc. Similar claims in related 
| patents will also be invalid under the Court's analysis.
