By Chris Bennett, Tudor Carsten, Michael R. Coburn, Sarah Dale-Harris, Pablo Guzman, Danielle (Dani) Lemon, Chris Metcalfe and David Spratley
Sony has been ordered to pay $18.5 million to Agere Systems following a successful patent infringement lawsuit filed in 2006. Agere Systems alleged that Sony violated its "wireless local area network apparatus" patent. Agere's patent covers the storing of headers in music files on a memory chip. It is reported that a Texas jury found that Sony wilfully infringed on the patent and that it unlawfully used the technology in the PlayStation Portable and certain other Sony products.
