eBay and Skype win patent fight with Peer Communications
eBay and Skype are off the hook again. A federal appeals court found eBay and Skype did not infringe on two patents held by Peer Communications. After initially winning a patent case against Peer Communications in August 2006 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the case went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The two patents petain to a user interface for network access that enables network agents to access multiple network services.
According to PC World, Peer Communications is a part of Acacia Technologies--a company specializing in licensing and enforcing its portfolio of patents. In 2008, Verizon Wireless settled a suit involving an Acacia patent on electronic address list management technology.
