O.co Wins 'Communication Protocol' Patent Trial

O.co (also known as Overstock.com) announced victory in its two-year patent infringement lawsuit with behemoth Alcatel-Lucent USA, Inc. The eastern Texas jury deliberated for less than two hours before returning a defense verdict. The jury found that O.co and co-defendant Newegg did not infringe any of the three patents Alcatel asserted against them.
