Buffalo Tech Gets New Trial On Wi-Fi Patent

Posted by kdawson on from the oh-give-me-a-home-router dept.

MrLint writes "It's been a long, nearly two years of silence since CSIRO won a patent battle against Buffalo Tech, causing an injunction preventing the Austin company from selling wireless routers. On September 19, 2008, a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that CSIRO patent claims are invalid and Buffalo is getting a new trial. With any luck, we will be able to get our grubby hands on low-cost Wi-Fi routers again!"

    Everyone gets a house - preferably a house bigger than your budget. If you can't afford a house, the rest of America will chip in to help you pay for it. It just wouldn't be fair to ask people to live within their means.
