Hewlett-Packard is taking Acer to court over Acer’s alleged infringement of five HP patents. The lawsuit was filed today in a court located in the Eastern District of Texas. More specifically, HP believes Acer infringed on patents ranging from DVD editing, power management, processing capabilities, clock switching, and other technologies from 1997 to 2003.
HP just got out of one courtroom and into another. I’m surprised to hear of the rapid growth for Acer, actually. I personally know of three people who’ve had horrible experiences with their notebooks. This is quite the roundabout way for HP to halt their progress though. Whatever works, I guess.
