Court rules barcode scanner patents invalid
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that struck down barcode scanning patents claimed by the estate of late inventor Jerome Lemelson.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit sided with a federal judge in Nevada, who concluded in January 2004 that the patents held by Lemelson Medical, Education & Research Foundation LP were invalid and unenforceable.
The appeals court ruling is a victory for a consortium of companies, led by barcode technology companies like Symbol Technologies, who mounted a legal challenge to the Lemelson patents.
