Patent Litigation Weekly: With Trial Win, DataTreasury Licensing Campaign Gets Boost
,----[ Quote ]
| Redden told jurors that at first examiners
| rejected Ballard's patent application, both
| on initial examination and at reexam, citing
| check-scanning technology dating back as far
| as 1981.
|
| "So Mr. Ballard amended his application to
| add the idea of encryption, and he got his
| patent," Redden said. Ballard's patent
| survived the reexam, Redden added, because it
| had one additional featureâencrypting a two-
| digit ID number on the back of a check.
