Desire2Appeal

By Troll Tracker

A Lufkin, Texas jury found for Blackboard in the Desire2Learn patent trial, finding the claims valid, infringed, and awarding $3.1 million in damages, according to Desire2Learn's blog and other newswires. News reports say that Blackboard sought $17 million. Ex parte and inter partes reexaminations have been ordered by the Patent Office (13 months ago), but there have been no office actions in those reexams, despite the Patent Office's commitment to resolve reexaminations with "special dispatch."

An inequitable conduct trial to Judge Clark is ongoing.
