Palm Says NCR Suit Without Merit
Palm has thrown down the gauntlet to NCR. They issued a statement yesterday that said that Palm believes the patent lawsuit filed against it and Handspring "has no merit". Handspring has already issued a similar statement. Last week, NCR alleged that the two company's handheld computers infringe two NCR-owned patents for a type of "portable personal terminal."
"Palm will defend itself vigorously," said Stephen Yu, Palm's general counsel.
The patents are for a "Portable personal terminal for use in a system for handling transactions," and for a "System for handling transactions including a portable personal terminal." They were both granted in 1987.
The papers filed said, in part, "Palm and Handspring knew about the NCR patents; however, they chose not to seek licenses from NCR." The company asked for a jury trial and demanded compensatory and actual damages. They also asked that both Palm and Handspring be blocked from producing any more of the infringing devices.
