Court Rules With Odetics on Patents
ANAHEIM —
Odetics Inc. said a federal appeals court ruled in its favor in a patent suit against Storage Technology Corp.
Odetics said Friday the appeals court overturned a lower court’s decision that its patents for library pass-through ports were not infringed by Storage Technology, based in Louisville, Colo.
The appeals court remanded the case for consideration of infringement, Odetics said.
The company’s suit alleges that Storage Technology’s automated tape-library system products violate Odetics’ patent, which covers its robotic tape cassette handling systems.
Odetics also announced Friday that it has received about $2 million in orders from LG Information & Communications Ltd. for systems that provide time and frequency synchronization.
