A California federal judge has tossed Uniloc USA Inc.'s infringement suit against Apple Inc. without leave to amend, finding that its patent for cooling down devices when a battery is overheating involved "industry standard" technology that didn't sufficiently explain how its method for controlling the current in the battery is patentable.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Thursday appeared open to tossing one of Uniloc USA Inc.'s six patent infringement suits against Apple Inc. that's pending before him, saying the patent-in-suit appears to be describing old technology that he used in the 1980s and "if that's all the patent is, then we're wasting our time."
