A federal court ruling that dismissed a seven-year-old patent infringement lawsuit against PalmOne’s Graffiti handwriting recognition system will be appealed by Stamford, Connecticut-based Xerox Corporation. “We intend to appeal,” Xerox spokesperson Christa Carone told TechNewsWorld. “We’ve won on appeal twice already, and we believe we will have a favorable outcome in this appeal as well.” In handing down his ruling, Judge Michael A. Telesca found that the Xerox patent, U.S. No. 5,596,656, which covers unistroke symbols, was invalid because “prior art references anticipate and render obvious the claim.”
