Nokia Lawsuit Looks to Block Imports of iPhones, iPods, and Macs
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia last week asked a federal court to
| block Apple from importing virtually any of
| Apple's current hardware into the U.S.,
| including the iPhone, iPod and Mac lines.
|
| The lawsuit -- the second Nokia has filed
| against Apple in the patent war that broke
| out last October -- is nearly identical to
| the complaint the Finnish phone
| manufacturer filed with the U.S.
| International Trade Commission (ITC) on
| Dec. 29. In that complaint, Nokia also
| demanded that Apple be barred from bringing
| "all of Apple's electronic devices that
| infringe one or more claims of the Asserted
| Patents" into the U.S.

HP Patents Bignum Implementation From 1912
,----[ Quote ]
| I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property
| writes "The authors of GMP (the GNU
| Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library) were
| invited to join Peer-to-Patent to review
| HP's recent patent on a very old technique
| for implementing bignums because their
| software might infringe. Basically, HP's
| patent claims choosing an exponent based on
| processor word size. If you choose a 4-bit
| word size and a binary number, you end up
| working in hexadecimal. Or for a computer
| with a 16-bit word and a base-10 number,
| you use base 10,000 so that each digit of
| the base-10,000 number would fit into a
| single 16-bit word. The obvious problem
| with that is that there's plenty of prior
| art here. Someone who spent a few minutes
| Googling found that Knuth describing the
| idea in TAOCP Vol. 2 and other citations go
| back to 1912 (which implemented the same
| algorithm using strips of cardboard and a
| calculating machine). None of this can be
| found in the 'references cited' section.
| Even though the patent examiner did add a
| couple of references, they appear to have
| cited some old patents. The patent issued a
| few months ago was filed back in October of
| 2004, and collected dust at the USPTO for
| some 834 days."

Nokia sues Apple
,----[ Quote ]
| NOKIA HAS called down upon itself the wrath
| of Steve Jobs by daring to sue the glorious
| Iphone religion.
|
| Nokia dares to suggest that Apple's Iphone
| technology did not spring virgin from the
| brow of St Steve of Cappuccino but actually
| had been previously patented by Nokia.
|
| It seems that the Nokian kings of Espoo
| claim that the Iphone infringes Nokia's
| patents for GSM, UMTS and wireless LAN
| (WLAN) standards.
