A LEGAL case Xerox launched against Palm has ended up with the latter case writing a cheque for $22.5 million to the former.

Xerox said that it sued a predecessor to Palm Inc for using handwriting recognition technology marketed as Graffiti, which infringed on its own Unistroke patent.

The $22.5 million Palm will pay includes licensing fees for Unistrokes and a couple of other patents. Both Palm and Xerox have agreed not to go to war again for another seven years over patents they've agreed to mutually respect. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
