US district court rejects patent claims against Hexaware Technologies
A district court in the United States has dismissed patent infringement complaints against mid-tier IT service provider Hexaware Technologies, filed by US-based Natsoft Corporation and its affiliate, UK-based Updraft, the company said on Friday.
The ruling was issued on June 9 by the US district court for the Northern District of Illinois. “The Court found that the asserted patents claimed broad, abstract ideas rather than any specific, concrete invention, and were therefore ineligible for patent protection under U.S. law,” Hexaware Technologies said in a statement.
