A federal judge has cleared Microsoft in its MP3 case with Alcatel-Lucent, saying the Vista OS maker will not have to pay the more than $1.5 billion damages award granted to Alcatel-Lucent in late February. At that time, Microsoft had claimed the case was “completely unsupported by the law or the facts.” US District Judge Rudi Brewster in San Diego on Thursday reportedly dismissed Alcatel-Lucent’s claims in a summary judgment, thereby canceling the trial slated to begin on March 19. The $1.5 billion award would have been the largest ever in a US patent case....more (0) Comments |

Alternative energy sources have moved front and center in Congress in response to voter outrage over energy prices and oil company profits, as well as rising concerns over US dependency on foreign sources and fossil fuels' role in climate change. The House of Representatives approved energy legislation this month that originated with the House Science and Technology Committee. The Advanced Fuels Infrastructure Research and Development Act--the first energy legislation pushed through by the Democratic majority in the House--is intended to make biofuels more affordable and more accessible to retailers. Other legislation introduced in the House would redirect tax and other benefits given to oil companies to a Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources Reserve. Tennessee Rep. Bart Gordon, who chairs the House Science Panel, said funds from the reserve would be used for "R&D to accelerate the production and use of new biofuels; increase the use of renewable energy, like solar, wind, and geothermal; and boost energy efficiency."...more (0) Comments |
