Xerox Patent Ruled Invalid, palmOne Exonerated

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-inventive-after-all dept.

An anonymous reader writes "palmOne has issued a press release, that a court has found that the patent that Xerox was using to sue Palm for its character entry method, and was developed in house, didn't infringe because the patent was invalid." The case was first brought against 3Com Corporation back in 1997 before they spun off the Palm brand name.
