patents in the news

[wlanmac]

Nomadix Inc. has won a patent enforcement action against Second Rule
LLC. The Federal Court in the Central District of California ruled on
March 31, 2009, in favour of Nomadix on its claims that Second Rule
willfully infringed five of Nomadix's patents. The Court awarded Nomadix
a total of $3.3 million in damages and attorney fees. The Court also
issued a Permanent Injunction against Second Rule. The suit against
Second Rule involved five U.S. patents relating to several High-Speed
Internet Access (HSIA) gateway features, including plug-and-play,
***home-page redirection***, zero-configuration proxy service, and
automated billing via seamless integration between the gateway and a
hotel's property management systems.
