Yahoo vs. NCR Over Patents
From the article, “Yahoo Inc. is going into the ring to defend itself against patent infringement claims by NCR Corp. NCR — a leading manufacturer of ATMs and formerly known as National Cash Register — sent Yahoo a letter two months ago, claiming the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Internet portal infringed 10 of its computer patents and demanding a licensing fee. With millions of dollars potentially at stake, Yahoo filed suit against NCR in San Francisco federal court Dec. 13, seeking a court order that it is not infringing NCR’s patents and that NCR’s patents are invalid…The patents at issue in the Yahoo case cover “ordering and downloading resources from computerized repositories;” a “computer system for management of resources;” and a “mechanism for dependably managing Web synchronization and tracking operations among multiple browsers,” among other claims.”
