A federal Judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by Xerox against 3Com. Xerox claimed that Graffiti violates their patented "Unistroke" software that recognizes one-stroke motions as characters.

Xerox was hoping to force Palm and other handheld makers to pay a licensing fee. They still have the option to appeal.
