Melbourne, Fla.-based AuthenTec announced that the U.S. District Court of Northern California issued an order in favor of the company, ruling that its products do not infringe either of the two patents asserted in a lawsuit by Atmel Corp.

The summary judgment concludes that none of AuthenTec’s products infringe any of the patent claims as alleged in a lawsuit filed by Atmel in March 2006. The court also awarded AuthenTec certain costs related to the suit.

“From the inception of the lawsuit, we were confident our products did not infringe any of the patent claims alleged by Atmel, and we are very pleased that the court has affirmed our position through the summary judgment,” said AuthenTec Vice President & General Counsel Frederick Jorgensen.
