hi all,

剛看到 ant 分享的訊息,原來成大介入專利戰爭:
http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2012/07/taiwan-university-sues-apple-over-siri-on-idevices.html

成功大學電機系王駿發教授在美國的專利 US7266496 - Speech recognition system
http://www.google.com/patents/US7266496

"The present invention discloses a complete speech recognition system
having a training button and a recognition button, and the whole
system uses the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
architecture for the design, and also uses the modular design to
divide the speech processing into 4 modules: system control module,
autocorrelation and linear predictive coefficient module, cepstrum
module, and DTW recognition module. Each module forms an intellectual
product (IP) component by itself. Each IP component can work with
various products and application requirements for the design reuse to
greatly shorten the time to market."

ant 的見解為:
「成大認為 Apple 侵犯其美國的 '032 及 '496 兩項專利,其中核心侵權的是 '496,並指出 Apple
侵權是「故意行為」,因此最終若判定具侵權行為,Apple 將會罰三倍。」
以及
「不過我看了一下 '496 這個專利,只能說這個專利很『學術』,與一般業界寫出來的專利不一樣,另外要繞過的方式有很多,雖然我不了解
Apple Siri 的技術,但不負責任的初步認為 Apple 『應該』沒有侵權,或至少 Apple 還有很多路可走。」

台灣媒體的報導: 「成大在美告蘋果Siri侵犯專利權」
http://udn.com/NEWS/NATIONAL/NATS1/7258639.shtml

以下摘錄:
「技轉中心法務經理陳錫山表示,國際專利訴訟費用相當高,約在一百到五百萬元美金間(合台幣約三千萬元到一億五千萬元);美方律師上月來台訪談王駿發教授,認為勝訴機率相當大,已與成大達成協議,未來成大打輸不必付錢,成大打贏,美方律師可就和解金額抽成做為利潤。」

Update.

成功大學繼續對 Apple Inc. 提起專利侵權告訴:
http://thenextweb.com/asia/2013/05/06/apple-ncku/

這次是視訊編碼相關的專利,引述報導內容:
"""
According to the lawsuit, NCKU accuses Apple on infringing on US
Patent #7,561,078, which details technology for a “encoding system for
a data set, particularly for a video data set.” The patent was filed
in late 2007 and published in late 2009.
