Digital security company Gemalto loses patent fight against Android
15 12 2014Yesterday’s ruling (PDF) puts an end to a legal battle that Gemalto kicked off in 2010 when it sued Google, Samsung, HTC, and Motorola in the Eastern District of Texas. Gemalto said Android phones had memory-utilization features that it had developed first at its research center in Austin.
Gemalto’s invention was a way to allow low-power devices to run “high-level programming languages, such as Java,” according to the ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. It accused the defendant companies of infringing three of its patents, numbered 6,308,317, 7,117,485, and 7,818,727.
