Oooh, Forgent, I think that’s going to leave a mark

Posted by Mark Nelson on 26th May 2006 | Permanent Link

According to Groklaw and PUBPAT, the USPTO took a second look at the JPEG pagent Forgent has been waving around in the air, and they didn’t like what they saw.

Interesting question: do any of those zillions of settlement deals with Forgent include backout clauses in the case of this development? Did Forgent have to put anything in escrow?

I have a feeling the next few earnings reports for Forgent Networks are not going to look good.
