royalblue announces that a Stipulated Judgment has been entered into the record in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York which formally records that, based on the findings of the earlier Markman hearing, royalblue does not infringe Lava Trading Inc.'s patent.
The results of the Markman hearing, which defined the technical terms to be used in subsequent hearings, were the subject of an announcement in June 2004.
As has been noted previously, royalblue expects that Lava will lodge an appeal against the findings of the Markman hearing. A decision by the Appeals Court is likely to take at least 12 months.
