Court Dismisses Speech-To-Text Infringement Claim Against Microsoft
Late yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Rudi Brewster dismissed Alcatel-Lucent's patent claim against Microsoft, related to technology that converts speech into text.
The ruling made late Thursday comes one week after a jury found Microsoft had infringed on audio patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and ordered the company to pay $1.52 billion in damages.
The summary judgment dismissal currently means that pending an Alatel-Lucent appeal, the jury trial on this matter will not take place March 19 as had been scheduled.
"We've made strong arguments supporting our view," said Alcatel-Lucent spokeswoman Joan Campion. "We're comfortable with our chances of success."
As to the audio patent judgment, Microsoft says it will appeal that as well.
