Please be apprised of the following Legal Notices:
|
||||
|
||||
A) Wang contends that its U.S. Patent No. 4, 751,669 ("the '669
|
||||
Patent") disclosing a "video text" system, is infringed by the following
|
||||
functionality in the Netscape Navigator code: 1) the animated logo and
|
||||
status line indicators --See Claims 1,8 and 9; 2) the "File Save As"
|
||||
function --See Claims 23-27; 3) Bookmarks and Rename Bookmarks in the
|
||||
Properties window --See Claims 20-22; 4) storing HTML, GIF, and JPEG
|
||||
files and adding filename extensions based on mime types (performed in
|
||||
Windows OS) --See Claim 38. Netscape believes the '669 Patent is
|
||||
invalid and non-infringed. Netscape is vigorously defending against
|
||||
Wang's claims.
|

A) The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has
|
||||
ruled that the Netscape Navigator code does not infringe Wang's U.S.
|
||||
Patent No. 4,751,669 ("the '669 Patent") because: 1) HTML is not
|
||||
Videotex as defined by the '669 patent; 2) web servers are not central
|
||||
suppliers; and 3) Navigator does not "connect," as defined by the '669
|
||||
Patent, to web servers on the Internet. Wang may appeal this decision to
|
||||
the Federal Circuit. Wang contended that its Patent disclosing a
|
||||
"Videotext" system, is infringed by the following functionality in the
|
||||
Netscape Navigator code: 1) the animated logo and status line indicators
|
||||
--See Claims 1,8 and 9; 2) the "File Save As" function --See Claims
|
||||
23-27; 3) Bookmarks and Rename Bookmarks in the Properties window --See
|
||||
Claims 20-22; 4) storing HTML, GIF, and JPEG files and adding filename
|
||||
extensions --See Claim 38
|
||||
|
||||
B) Intermind owns pending U.S. patent applications on communications
|
||||
systems which employ metadata ("channel objects") to define a control
