Mastered
Peter
Hochstein and Jeffrey Tenenbaum scored one against Microsoft in their
Xbox patent match,
ongoing since 2004. East Michigan Judge Paul D. Borman has adopted a critical
claim construction determined by his special master in the case. Claim 39 of
5,292,125 involves a communication circuit. Microsoft wanted a
non-infringement knockout, construing the circuit within a particular
configuration which it does not employ. The special master didn't find any such
narrowing limitation in the claim. Looks like this one is going down to the
wire, with Microsoft outboxed.
