Oracle win on Mangosoft patent claim upheld by court

Oracle's database software doesn't infringe a patent by smaller rival Mangosoft, a U.S. appeals court ruled, upholding a lower-court finding. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Wednesday upheld a March 2006 ruling in favor of Oracle, the world's third-biggest software maker. Mangosoft sued in 2002, claiming that Oracle's 9i and 10g database software infringed its patent for technology that lets a network of computers share memory to better structure data storage systems. The company had originally sought $500 million from Oracle. Redwood City-based Oracle saw its stock rise 11 cents to $21.78 in Nasdaq trading. Representatives from Nashua, N.H.-based Mangosoft didn't return a call seeking comment.
