European Patent Office revokes another IPCom patent

Earlier infringement decision expected to become unenforceable, allowing Nokia sales in Germany to continue
Espoo, Finland - The European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich today revoked IPCom's patent EP 1 841 268 (#100A).
The EPO's decision means that yesterday's ruling from the Dusseldorf Court is not expected to stop the sales of Nokia products in Germany.
"We are pleased that the European Patent Office has confirmed that this IPCom patent is invalid," said Paul Melin, vice president, Intellectual Property at Nokia. "So far, of 62 IPCom patents that have come to judgment, none has been found valid as granted. IPCom needs to recognize its position and end its unrealistic demands for what remains of this significantly diminished portfolio."
