Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 3, 2006 - 6:45am.
Austin, Texas - Forgent Networks, a company that buys patents and seeks to license their use by other companies, announced this week that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will re-examine its patent related to JPEG technology. Texas-based Forgent has already generated over $105 million in licensing fees on the patent, from makers of digital cameras, cell phones and other devices. If invalidated, the company would keep the licensing fees already won but would not be able to pursue further deals.
