Qualcomm's Allegations Against Broadcom : The Tip of an Iceberg?

May 22, 2006

Analysis of:Qualcomm Sues Broadcom | www.lightreading.com

Qualcomm's trade secret allegations against Broadcom might at first read as relativley ho-hum. But the paperwork being generated in the case suggests that there might be a much bigger trade secret issue lurking in the background.

International Game Technologies vs. Bally Technologies : Focus on the Patents

May 22, 2006

Analysis of:International Game Files Patent Suit Against Bally Technologies | news.morningstar.com

The patent litigation between IGT and Bally looks as if there are a million issues and defenses in play. In truth, all that is likely smoke and mirrors: the real battle here will be over whether the IGT patents are valid, and whether IGT engaged in inequitable conduct while pursuing them.

EBay Wins -- Injunction Now Unlikely

May 17, 2006

Analysis of:Ebay Beats Va. Firm's Patent Dispute in Supreme Court | biz.yahoo.com

The Supreme Court has told lower courts to re-evaluate the question of whether a little Virginia patent holder should be allowed to enjoin eBay from using the "Buy It Now" feature. The important point is that the patent holder now has much less ammunition for settlement negotiations: it can demand a reasonable royalty, but it cannot as credibly threaten to freeze the eBay site for any period of time.

Magma v. Synopsis: Bench Trial Underway

April 27, 2006

Analysis of:Magma v. Synopsis: Complaint on Unfair Business Practices | www.magma-da.com

The first stage of the litigation between Magma and Synopsis is underway: a bench trial on the question of which firm is the lawful owner of the two patents in primary dispute. Magma has been gaining ground on Synopsis in the market, but this litigation could reverse the firms' fortunes.

Tessera on the Move: Litigation to Watch

April 26, 2006

Analysis of:Court Orders Non-Party to Produce Documents in TESSERA v. MICRON | www.ediscoverylaw.com

Analysts have once again started to pay attention to Tessera's pending patent and antitrust case against Infineon and Micron. Things will be in play for several months, but this is definitely a big one worth watching.

Rambus, Hynix, Micron, Samsung : What's Next for the DRAM Market?

April 25, 2006

Analysis of:Rambus Soars on Hynix Win | www.forbes.com

As this article makes clear, Rambus' recent patent win over Hynix has significant implications for Rambus' pending litigation against almost every other firm in the industry. What the article misses, however, are two critical caveats: (1) the third phase of the Hynix trial could result in the patent award being thrown out; and (2) the big antitrust case in San Francisco turns on importantly different evidence and legal arguments.

Cablevision: The Next Threat to Tivo and the DVR

April 25, 2006

Analysis of:Cable Network DVR Draws Programmers' Ire | money.cnn.com

Cablevision's new centralized DVR service provides consumers the full functionality of a Tivo but, instead of using hardware based in the home, it operates entirely on Cablevision's own servers. Does this new offering comply with copyright law? More importantly, will this technology in the end drive Tivo and Comcast out of the DVR business?
