BackWeb Technologies Ltd., situated across the road from my office in Rosh HaAyin, Israel (and a company I once did some work for as a technical writer on the software documentation of the product) has announced that it has reached a settlement in its patent infringement litigation with Sybase, Inc. and its subsidiary iAnywhere Solutions, Inc.
BackWeb and Sybase have reached a negotiated settlement under which Sybase and iAnywhere license the BackWeb patents in question and the companies’ claims have been resolved. Terms of the agreement remain confidential.
The remaining defendants, Microsoft Corporation and Symantec, are still being accused of infringin Backweb patents for software update technologies and a trial date of April 4, 2011 has been set by the court.
