It's a Dud, Dude
Patent
monger Alcatel-Lucent
sued Dell in 2003 over 15 patents; Dell
counterclaimed with
6,038,597 and
6,182,275, related to Internet computer product ordering. Jury trial found
Dell's patents valid and non-infringed. Dell was ordered to pay costs.
The Alcatel-Lucent assertion is scheduled for trial this month.
Dell is a member of the Coalition for Patent Fairness, a corporate group dedicated to spewing anti-patent propaganda to the press whilst bribing Congress to pass legislation eviscerating patent enforcement; no wonder. Alcatel-Lucent, who knows how to the use the sharp end of a patent stick, is not.
