Palm and Handspring cleared

<A HREF="http://news.com.com/2100-1040-943372.html?tag=fd_top">CNET News.com</A> reports a court has rejected a claim from ATM maker NCR that Palm and Handspring violated its patents in their handheld devices. According to the article, "NCR filed the lawsuit in March 2001, claiming its patents relate to performing financial transactions on communications networks via handheld devices. NCR's lawsuit contended that Palm and Handspring knew about the patents but chose not to seek licenses from NCR." However, a U.S. District Court judge in Delaware granted Palm and Handspring a summary judgment saying that neither company violated the patents.
