SUSMAN GODFREY SETTLES SUPERSPEED SOFTWARE'S PATENT INFRINGEMENT SUIT

Susman Godfrey settled client SuperSpeed Software’s patent infringement suit against Oracle Software in December 2005. The case was pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division). Susman Godfrey finalized the settlement with Oracle soon after the District Court issued a claims construction opinion that was highly favorable to SuperSpeed. Details of the settlement are confidential. The suit alleged that Oracle’s software products, including Oracle Parallel Server and Real Applications Clusters, infringed a number of SuperSpeed patents on technology for increasing data processing speed by caching data in local memory. SuperSpeed was represented by Susman Godfrey attorneys Neal Manne, Max Tribble, Edgar Sargent, Brooke Taylor, and Lane Dilg.
