Federal Circuit Rejects Android Patent Challenge

Gemalto NV, the French digital security company, said that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected its patent claim relating to the Android smart phone operating platform. Gemalto, which makes smart cards, filed a suit in the United States in October 2010 against Google, Motorola, Samsung and HTC, alleging that their Android applications infringed on its patents.
