Alcatel-Lucent SA lost its appeals court bid to revive patent-infringement claims against Overstock.com Inc. and Newegg Inc. over online shopping in a effort to increase its royalties.
Overstock.com and Newegg won a jury verdict in 2011 that they didn’t infringe three Alcatel-Lucent patents and that one of the patents was invalid. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, without issuing a formal opinion, upheld the decision in a notice posted on the court’s website.
