One Alcatel-Lucent claim against Microsoft dismissed
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
A judge in a San Diego court late Thursday dismissed one of several patent claims Alcatel-Lucent SA has made against Microsoft Corp. in several high-profile cases against the vendor, but that does not mean the software company is out of the woods yet.
According to Microsoft spokesman Jack Evans, a judge in the U.S. District Court in San Diego ruled that Microsoft does not infringe a patent for speech-recognition technology asserted by Alcatel-Lucent.
This is the only patent that was to be considered during a second trial in the series of claims, which had been scheduled in San Diego on March 19, he said. That trial has now been cancelled.
