As if Palm hasn't had it hard already.

Hope no one here is at risk.

Graffiti infringes on Xerox

Judge rules Palm's handwriting recognition technology violates patent.

Xerox to spin off PARC - Dec. 11, 2001
Palm's loss less than though - Dec. 11, 2001


NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A federal judge ruled Thursday that Palm Inc's handwriting recognition technology for its handheld computers infringes on a Xerox Corp. patent.

Xerox said U.S. District Court Judge Michael Telesca ruled Palm's (PALM: Research, Estimates) Graffiti system infringes on Xerox's patent for Unistrokes. The court will now move to the damages phase of the trial.

If the infringement was willful, the court can triple the amount of damages, Xerox (XRX: Research, Estimates) said. Xerox could also receive lucrative licensing fees from Palm.

Palm is in the process of reviewing the opinion and had no comment at this time.

Xerox also named 3Com Corp. in the suit, but a spokesman for 3Com told CNN/Money the decision does not affect his company.




"This is really a Palm issue," 3Com spokesman Brian Johnson said. "In the process of spinning off Palm we sorted out liability issues."
