JPEG gets a Markman Date

October 8, 2005 on 6:27 pm | In Interesting Patents, Lawsuits |

The Unofficial Apple Weblog reporting that a Markman hearing has been set for Feb. 13, 2006 in the CLI case (JPEG compression). The Defendants include…Acer, Apple, Canon, Creative Labs, Dell, Eastman Kodak, Fuji Photo Film, Fujitsu, Gateway, Google, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, JASC Software, JVC, Kyocera, Matsushita, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Onkyo, PalmOne, Panasonic Communications, Panasonic Mobile, Ricoh Corporation, Savin, Sun Microsystems and TiVo. It has been reported that to avoid this suit, thirty other potential defendants settled the case for around $90,000,000 total.

This old Wired article has some pretty good background on the case, as does the JPEG Wikipedia entry.
