[Nieuws] Toch weer rechtzaak rond handschriftherkenning

Oorspronkelijk geplaatst door Associated Press

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington sent the case back for reconsideration, saying a judge had erred in ruling that the Xerox patent was invalid. The lawsuit is against Palm and its former parent, 3Com.

The dispute centers on Palm's Graffiti, which uses strokes of a stylus to replicate letters and words. In part because of legal battles, Palm switched to another handwriting-recognition software, called Jolt, for its devices. Palm argued that Xerox was not the first to invent the technology.
