Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation v. Buffalo Technology Inc., 492 F.Supp.2d 600 (E.D. Tex. 2007) (full-text).
Trial Court Proceedings[]
The court found that infringement of CSIRO’s patent on a wireless local area network had caused irreparable harm by depriving CSIRO of licensing revenues that would have funded additional projects and diverting funds from its research function to patent litigation.[1] The court also noted harm to CSIRO’s reputation as a research institution and its ability to recruit top scientists.[2]
