Shocker! WiLAN drums up another lawsuit, this time against a big cable

Bowers Ben posted on Nov 24, 2010 8: 29 AM : as the saying goes, whenever you delete a iPhone, another wide sweeping patent lawsuit world tech shoots in plantiff-friendly Texas Eastern District courts of the United States. Okay, so maybe there is no factual basis, but who knows if the last case filed by seed-happy Canadian wireless companies WiLAN against Comcast, Time Warner, and notices of paper is more legitimate. The dispute is over U.S. Patent No. 5,661,602, which is one of 970 society issued or pending patents, and was awarded in 1998. It covers "hybrid multichannel data transmission systems using a transmission medium"--a.k.a. the transmission of data to the computer and remote networks. WiLAN has exploited their ole ' favorite USA law firm, McKool Smith for case and States that the triumvirate big cable is in violation of patent, though a spokesman for Comcast noted that he had not been served with a complaint yet. Unfortunately (or not-so-unfortunately, depending on your perspective) cannot take part in oscillation of the hammer, but whereas WiLAN against Alcatel-Lucent, Sony Ericsson and LG last month and Acer, Apple, Dell, HP and Lenovo in April in judgment, there is plenty of evidence that lawyers of this dress are employees to work harder on the payroll.
