Neomedia did in fact succeed in the reexamination initiated by EFF. Licensing its IP is one of the principal business objectives of Neomedia. The silly paint business – which was supposed to provide a revenue tream until the market was ready to adopt the tech covered by Neomedia’s patents – was sold off some time ago.

The best info on the patent reexam results is not available – predictably – from the EFF. You need to look here:

Well.. The proof is in. And, thanks to EFF, the NeoMedia patents are now stronger than before. The defense at the PTO brought about a clarification that gives NeoMedia clear control of the patent. Now, lets see how long it takes the companies who openly are walking over the NeoMedia patents. Look out SCANBUY !! Your revenue – if any – wil be passed over to the real technology holder.

Another NeoMedia-friendly semi-anonymous comment on this post that does not provide any backing to its claim. A Google News search for USPTO and Neomedia at the time of this writing yields a whooping ZERO result. Niet, nada, none, zero, zilch. Why can't Neomedia just give up this barcode patenting litigation line of business and focus on their original and much cutest micro paint repair line of business ? @streetslyz, @kk: read my lips: g-i-v-e u-p! GO EFF! GO SCANBUY!

USPTO a few days ago announced that all 95 claims of Neomedia are patentable!! A huge, HUGE! victory for Neomedia!

EFF lost BIG time. So did Scanbuy.

NeoMedia announced during it’s September conference call that they will continue to aggressively pursue litigation against Scanbuy.

On July 18th, 2008, the U.S. Patent Office has rejected all ninety-5ive NeoMedia patent claims. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/u-s-patent-office-rejects-all-ninety-five-neomedia
Perhaps NeoMedia will now learn the lesson and abandon for good its awful scare tactics against competitors based not on real and solid technological merits but on weak legal claims. In fact, after the PTO agreed to reexamine the patent, NeoMedia agreed to put on hold its pending litigation against Scanbuy, in which NeoMedia is alleging of infringement of the bar-code lookup patent, as well as another patent. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/u-s-patent-office-rejects-all-ninety-five-neomedia

Yus,

The reexamination of NeoMedia’s patent doesn’t concern me at all, as it is merely a formality.

As you know, NeoMedia has very coveted patents. These patents were first licensed by Digital Convergence in 2000 to facilitate the launch of the :CueCat. They were also the catalyst in the licensing of our patents to Cross Pen, Symbol, and NeoMedia’s acquisition of the qode assets in 2001.

Years later, NeoMedia successfully won legal battles against Virgin
Entertainment — who licensed our intellectual property portfolio — and successfully defeated AirClic and LScan. NeoMedia’s patents have proven their value and worth in true time tested fashion.

One would certainly think that patent #6,199,048 has been under the microscope over the years, and has been looked over with a fine-toothed comb. Especially for prior art in the preceding patent infringement cases with Virgin, AirClic, and LScan.

Too many Patent Experts and legal representatives have looked at the core patents (mainly the Huedtz patents) and have not figured out a way around them; Motorola, Symbol, Qualcomm, Digital Convergence’s legal team, Cross Pen, etc.

Cheers

The EFF failed for a 2nd time in their efforts to invalidate NeoMedia’s patents.
