Supreme Court Rules Against Akamai in Patent Case

The Supreme Court says a company is not liable for inducing patent infringement if someone other than the company carries out some of the steps leading to infringement. The justices unanimously ruled that Internet content delivery company Limelight Networks Inc. did not infringe on the patented system for managing images and video owned by rival Akamai Technologies Inc.
