In other legal news, the Xerox patent suit against 3Com has been dismissed. The lawsuit had contended 3Com violated patent regulations when it developed the handwriting recognition system for the Palm organizer. Xerox claimed it had invented the Unistroke software that recognizes one-stroke motions as characters. U.S. District Judge Michael A. Telesca granted 3Com’s dismissal motion, saying there was “no genuine issue as to any material fact.”
