Nuance Communications, Inc. asserts that Vlingo, Corp. is infringing Patent No. 6,766,295 directed to adaptation of speech recognition system across multiple remote sessions. We encountered this case earlier in the context of a discovery dispute over source code. (See http://bostonipblog.typepad.com/dmass-ip-blog/2010/02/d-mass-rules-on-motion-to-compel-ed-tex-disclosures.html)
The parties originally disputed ten claim terms but agreed on six at the hearing, leaving four for Judge Zobel to construe. The patentee mostly wins this one, winning three out of four constructions, which the court handles without extensive discussion or apparent difficulty.
