Acer settles with HP by patent litigation

June 09th, 2008 | Category: Gadgets, News

In an extremely brief statement, Acer says to have “settled all ongoing patent litigation with HP.” The confidential settlement wraps up months of legal wrangling that kicked off in March of 2007 when HP accused Acer of infringing upon 5 HP patents related to “DVD editing, processing ability, and capability consumption and efficiency.”

Acer soon after countersued, and so on. While it’s unclear whether any fault was admitted, we’re undoubtful that a handful of patent lawyers from both sides are sipping at their 60-year old Macallan in a fit of haughty disdain for corporate executives at that very moment.
