Judge Tosses Patent-Infringement Suit Against International Game Tech

Dow Jones News
International Game Technology (IGT) said a federal judge has
approved its request to toss a patent-infringement lawsuit filed
against it by Australia's Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. (ALL.AU).
Aristocrat Technologies had alleged International Game's Fort
Knox, Jackpot Hunter, Party Time!, and Wheelionaire games infringed
on patents. That suit was filed in California in 2006.
IGT is currently opposing a separate patent allegation by
Aristocrat.
The gambling-equipment maker's fortunes have improved of late
following a sharp downturn in gambling during the recession. Its
latest-quarter profit rose despite charges from the closure of its
Japan business, which it announced in February.
International Game's shares were recently up 0.93% at
$19.49.
