VC, Legal, Y Combinator Robert Buderi wrote: It’s not easy posting legal documents: the lawyers get nervous. At least, that’s what happened to Y Combinator. Last Wednesday, August 13, the unique venture firm/incubator made a batch of boilerplate legal documents developed for its own startups freely available on its website—”open sourcing” (their term, not mine) them in hopes they would make closing deals easier for entrepreneurs and investors alike. The day after I posted a story lauding the move—after all, entrepreneurs typically pick up the tab for both their lawyer and the investors’ counsel—a reader commented (thank you, Laurent) that they were no longer up on the Y Combinator website. Turns out YC’s lawyers made them take down the documents until some disclaimer language was added. I just got word from YC partner Jessica Livingston that the disclaimer language has been added, and the documents are back up. You can find them here.

VC, startups, Legal Robert Buderi wrote: If you’ve ever launched a startup with funding from a venture firm or angel group, you know the bank-account-draining toll those startup legal bills can take. I still feel the pain: an amazing $25K each from my lawyer and the lead investor’s lawyer for a simple angel deal. And guess who paid for it all? Me, the bootstrapping entrepreneur. I need a couple Excedrins just thinking about it. That’s why I perked up immediately when I saw the news in TechCrunch this afternoon, about Y Combinator making the boilerplate legal documents it provides its own startups free and available to all comers—in hopes they will smooth the legal path to funding and save entrepreneurs money in the process. According to a message on the Y Combinator site, where you can download the documents: “These documents were originally created for YC-funded startups to use when raising angel rounds. They seem to have worked well in trial runs so far, so we’re open-sourcing them.” Y Combinator, in case you haven’t been following our recent rash of posts about it, is a novel type of venture firm—based in Cambridge, MA, in the summer, and Mountain View, CA, during the winter—that provides seed funding of up to $20,000 to early-stage startups and works with the founders to help evolve their business plans to the point when they can raise additional money from others to advance to the next stage. As part of the services it provides these young startups, Y Combinator has worked with the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati to create legal documents to use when it comes to taking in that additional funding. As the note on Y Combinator’s site says, “While they may not be suitable for all situations, the goal was to make the terms fairly neutral. So while we would of course advise both parties using these documents to have their lawyers look at them, they provide a starting point that we hope can be used in many situations…without too many modifications.” I take that to mean that lawyers like to justify their existence to their clients, so they wrangle over terms, trying to get an edge in one clause or another—or at least prevent the other side from getting an edge. Meanwhile, the bills pile up. But if you have a “neutral” document from the start, you might just prevent a lot of that haggling. And that saves the entrepreneur money—because it’s the lowly startup that gets hit with the tab from both its own lawyer and the investor’s law firm. (Where’s that Excedrin?) “Needless to say, neither YC nor WSGR assumes any responsibility for any consequence of using these documents,” reads the Y Combinator message. But I say that just for trying to ease the entrepreneur’s burden, YC deserves some kudos. Comments | Permalink | Share |  E-mail UNDERWRITERS AND PARTNERS Less

Roundup, Life Sciences, Legal Rebecca Zacks wrote: Perhaps nostalgic for his days poring through the documents in the iRobot case, Bob uncovered what could wind up being a doozy of a patent dispute—this time involving gene chips rather than battle bots. Here’s that, and the rest of the week’s life sciences news. —MIT and E8 Pharmaceuticals—a startup founded by MIT and Harvard professors—filed a patent-infringement suit against Santa Clara, CA-based Affymetrix (NASDAQ: AFFX). Bob got the details on what could turn out to be a big case, given that the technology in question represents a substantial and growing portion of Affymetrix’s business, and that the plaintiffs’ attorneys are the ones who recently won a $612 million settlement from the company that makes the BlackBerry. —Luke profiled the bid of Cambridge, MA-based Genocea Biosciences to make a more affordable alternative to Prevnar, the best-selling vaccine ever.

Patents, lawsuits, networking Wade Roush wrote: Marlborough, MA-based 3Com and Realtek Semiconductor Corporation of Hsinchu, Taiwan, said yesterday that they’ve resolved a longstanding patent dispute over Realtek network controller chips that 3Com claimed appropriated aspects of its parallel processing technology. 3Com won a $45.3 million judgment against Realtek in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in April, but the new agreement nullifies that settlement, replacing it with a $70 million licensing payment to 3Com that will allow Realtek to continue sell chips containing the disputed technology.

Legal, Biotech, IP Robert Buderi wrote: It’s an impressive and even intimidating group. Two world-renowned professors, one from MIT, the other from Harvard Medical School; MIT itself; and the lawyers who won a $612 million settlement from Research in Motion, the Blackberry folks. They’ve joined forces in a patent lawsuit, filed without fanfare last week in federal court, against one of biotech’s pioneers: Santa Clara, CA-based Affymetrix. No dollar amount was named in the suit. But analysts and the plaintiffs, who are seeking treble damages, say the technology in question is vital to much of Affymetrix’s business—an indication that many millions of dollars are at stake. What may also be at stake is a long-standing relationship that MIT has with Affymetrix (NASDAQ: AFFX)—a maker of microarrays and associated tools for analyzing genes—through the Broad Institute, a Cambridge, MA-based biomedical research institute jointly run by MIT and Harvard. The collaboration, focused in part on the very technology at the core of the patent suit, could put MIT in a bind—or at least create the appearance of a conflict—as the case progresses. The named plaintiffs in the lawsuit, filed on July 1 in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, are MIT and a newly formed company called E8 Pharmaceuticals. The firm is the brainchild of MIT biologist David Housman, a pioneer in forensic DNA analysis whose co-invention is at the nub of the litigation, and Richard Mulligan, a MacArthur Prize-winning biologist formerly at MIT and now at Harvard Medical School. (Mulligan, an Xconomist, serves on ImClone’s board and was nominated, but not elected, to Biogen Idec’s board as part of billionaire investor Carl Icahn’s attempted takeover of the company.) The plaintiffs’ lawyers are from Wiley Rein, the Washington, DC-based law firm that represented patent-holding company NTP in its infringement suit against RIM; that suit ended with in the BlackBerry firm settling in 2006 for $612 million. At issue in the suit against Affymetrix is U.S. patent No. 6,703,228. In their complaint, E8 and MIT hail the technology covered by the patent as a pioneering discovery in genotyping and DNA analysis that “enables users to perform accurate, reproducible and cost-effective genetic analysis, using minute amounts of sample DNA and a small number of reactants to generate results that were previously impossible, even in specialized high throughput centers using many thousands of different reactants.” The patent was awarded to MIT in March 2004, with Housman and his group named as the inventors. The lawsuit alleges that some of Affymetrix’s GeneChip (the firm’s trade name for microarray) products infringe the ‘228 patent, and that by selling these products Affymetrix is causing its customers to also infringe the patent. Neither Mulligan nor Housman would discuss the suit in detail, but they did explain to me that the products at issue are those designed for analyzing a certain type of genetic analysis, called SNP (pronounced “snip”) genotyping. “The issued patent, which is public record, describes the Affy SNP chip genotyping methodology,” says Housman. “It is what it is. Anyone who wants to compare the Affy SNP chip manual to the issued patent is welcome to do so. They are one and the same thing.” There’s a history here. According to the complaint, in September of 2004, some six months after Housman’s patent was issued, Affymetrix filed its own U.S. patent application claiming the priority date of an earlier 1994 application. Then, in March 2005, Affymetrix added new claims that in effect “asserted the patentability of and ownership of the methods claimed in what is now the ‘228 patent.” An interference was initiated in April 2006 as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office tried to sort out which group was first to develop the methods at issue, and on May 2, 2007—again according to the complaint–the PTO ruled “that the Housman group at M.I.T. was the first to invent the claimed methods and was therefore entitled to the patent.” E8 and MIT allege that Affymetrix nevertheless kept on using the methods—and directed its customers to use them—in direct infringement of MIT’s patent. E8, meanwhile, now holds an exclusive license to the patent. Housman and Mulligan are former MIT colleagues and longtime friends.

Daily TIPs, energy, Web Neil Savage wrote: Is Ethanol Policy Counterproductive? Citing a pair of wire stories, Salon asks whether current policies to promote the production of ethanol amount to bad economics. Federal ethanol mandates are driving up the price of corn, which makes it hard to make a profit by selling ethanol. High corn prices have driven about a dozen biofuel plants to file for bankruptcy. Record Data Breaches Recorded This Year Government, businesses, and universities have reported a record-breaking number of break-ins to their databases. The Washington Post’s Security Fix blog says that the Identity Theft Resource Center tracked 342 reports of data breaches between January 1 and June 27. That’s a 69 percent increase over the same period last year. Brain, Not Cell Phone, Is Problem, Studies Say Many states are mandating that drivers use only hands-free cell phones to minimize traffic accidents. But with California’s law going into effect July 1, a story in the Los Angeles Times highlights studies that show the real danger is not dialing. It’s that conversation refocuses the brain’s attention. Court Ruling May Not Offer Text Privacy In a case last week in which a police department had tried to gain access to employees’ text messages, a federal court ruled that the department had no right to see the material. The media hailed the decision as a blow for privacy. But GigaOm argues that the ruling won’t keep your messages out of the hands of employers unless you work for the government. Material Protects Environment From Fluorescent Bulbs Compact fluorescent light bulbs are being promoted as a way to help the planet, since they use so much less electricity than ordinary bulbs. But the downside has been their mercury content, which can spread if the bulb breaks. Now researchers at Brown University have come up with a material that absorbs the mercury in case of a break, UPI reports. Hawaii Requires Solar Water Heaters All new single family homes in Hawaii must have solar water heaters to get a building permit. The law signed by Governor Linda Lingle goes into effect in 2010. The Environmental News Network says the law is meant to address the fact that the island relies on foreign countries for 90 percent of its energy. Throttling Web Traffic May Not Be Necessary Telecom companies are threatening to turn down data allowances to subscribers because, they say, too much peer-to-peer traffic is eating up bandwidth and causing network congestion. But Ars Technica says it looked at traffic numbers from Bell Canada and discovered that the level of congestion is low, with no link being congested more than 3 percent of the time. The one place that does have a problem, where DSL lines come into the central office, actually saw an increase in congestion after Bell started its throttling policy.

Daily TIPs, Web, energy Neil Savage wrote: Conference Looks at Web’s Effect on Politics A two-day conference in New York this week is looking at the interaction of the Web and the political process, reports Ars Technica. At the Personal Democracy Forum’s confab, researchers presented tools for mapping and modeling the blogosphere. One speaker suggested that online fundraising is not as important a use of the Internet as finding new ways to create civic institutions. And another noted that traditional media outlets are challenging bloggers with their own offerings during this campaign Power Lines Are Bottleneck to Renewable Energy Wind and solar power are all well and good, but unless there’s a way to transmit their electricity from, say, the middle of the Mojave Desert to a home in the Dallas suburbs, they won’t make much difference. Speakers at the Renewable Energy Finance Forum said there’s a real need to fund and build high-power transmission lines in the parts of the country where wind farms and solar installations would work best, which tend to be less inhabited, according to the Environmental News Network. Community Policing is the Web’s Best Asset If a small sample of Internet users were to allow their computers’ activities to be tracked anonymously, the open-source community could identify and deal with problems such as worms and pop-up ads, an expert argues. Writing in Technology Review , law professor and Internet author Jonathan Zittrain also sees too much proprietary software, with the ability to ban outside code, as a threat to openness online. California Air Board to Tackle Global Warming The California Air Resources Board is about to rise from obscurity when it issues what the San Francisco Chronicle calls the nation’s most ambitious plan to fight global warming. The paper says the board is likely to offer regulations that will encourage consumers to use more energy-efficient light bulbs and higher-mileage hybrid vehicles. There may also be new regulations on utilities and a carbon credit trading system. Geo-Engineering May Be Better Approach to Warming Alternative energy and conservation aren’t the only responses to climate change. Another approach policy makers should consider is geo-engineering, changing the Earth to control the environment, an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times suggests. Actions such as putting particles into the atmosphere to reflect more sunlight away from the planet could buy us time as we switch to alternative fuels, argues Samuel Thernstrom of the American Enterprise Institute. Lack of Infrastructure Prevents Broadband Competition Regulators want to encourage competition among different forms and providers of broadband. But a blogger at ZDNet argues that it’s not always easy to replace cable with DSL or FIOS. He uses his own suburban New Jersey community as an example of how suburbs often lack the infrastructure to support competition. Defense Argues the Internet is for Porn The legal concept of obscenity has always been fairly subjective; as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once famously wrote, “I know it when I see it.” Now a measure of just how many see it may change the legal notion of whether something violates community standards, says the New York Times . The defense in an obscenity trial in Florida plans to introduce Google’s data of the relative popularity of search terms such as “orgy” as compared to “apple pie,” to show that a good portion of the community is perfectly happy with porn.

speech recognition, Legal, Patents Wade Roush wrote: As soon as news broke Tuesday that Burlington, MA-based Nuance Communications was suing Harvard Square startup Vlingo for allegedly infringing one of Nuance’s speech-recognition patents, I requested an interview with Dave Grannan, Vlingo’s CEO. Grannan, who came to Vlingo from Nokia last year, has spent quite a bit of time with Xconomy in the past, talking about Vlingo’s speech-to-text technology and its deal with Yahoo, which is using the disputed software for its oneSearch with Voice mobile search service. I got through to Grannan Wednesday afternoon. He politely upbraided me for the provocative headline I attached to yesterday’s post on the lawsuit. Grannan also shared his opinion that Nuance is a historically litigious company that’s crying foul over the oneSearch technology because it couldn’t win Yahoo’s business using its own speech recognition systems. An edited transcript of our conversation follows. Xconomy: Thanks for making time to talk. Dave Grannan: Sure. The first thing is that I did want to register an official complaint with you, in terms of the headline you ran yesterday—”Nuance Suit Against Vlingo Could Shut Down Yahoo’s Voice-Driven Mobile Search Service.” My issue with that is that there has been an allegation of infringement. The only way something gets shut down is if there is proof in court that that is the case. So that headline is achieving for Nuance exactly what they are trying to achieve, which is using the media to jump to a conviction. X: I see your point. I wrote that headline. In my defense, it did include the word “could.” And the lead paragraph in the article makes it clear that a shutdown would only be a worst-case scenario, if Nuance won the injunction against you that they’re seeking. I think we’ve seen that these patent infringement suits actually can lead to shutdowns, as with the NTP injunction against RIM that nearly shut down the Blackberry service. But I can see your point of view, so thanks for sharing that, and I’ll make sure to include it when we publish this interview. DG: Thanks. But mainly, of course, we wanted to talk about the substance of Nuance’s allegation. X: Right. What do you think they’re trying to accomplish here? DG: To me, this is the clearest admission yet from Nuance that they cannot compete with us in the marketplace, so they want to move the competition to the courtroom. I think their intent is to damage us in the marketplace. Their press release yesterday was the first we’d heard about the lawsuit. One would think that if they had a legitimate concern about intellectual property they would have just approached us and told us. This was clearly intended to be a marketing kind of event, to harm our business. As far as the patent itself goes, we do not make use of the patent they’ve pointed out here. In our minds, it’s a very limited patent. Further, we have some very serious doubts as to the patent’s validity to begin with. It’s our intent to very vigorously defend ourselves and fight this. X: My reading of the patent is that it covers a way to adapt speech-recognition algorithms so that they get better over time as they collect more data from speakers. And there is definitely an adaptive element to Vlingo’s technology, isn’t that right? DG: There is absolutely an adaptive element to our technology. But the way in which we do it is different than what’s described in the patent they cite. X: In a public statement about the suit earlier today, you said that Vlingo’s speech recognition technology is based in part on technology you license from IBM. So are you basically saying that you’d be able to …Next Page » Comments | Permalink | Share |  E-mail Less

speech, Software, Mobile Wade Roush wrote: If a Texas district court grants an injunction sought by Burlington, MA-based Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN), it could force Yahoo to shut down the voice-enabled version of its mobile search platform. The search tool is powered by software from Vlingo, a Cambridge, MA-based startup Nuance sued yesterday for alleged patent infringement. The Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) platform, called oneSearch with Voice, works on Blackberry Pearl, Blackberry Curve, and Blackberry 8800 series smartphones, and allows users to enter Web search queries such as “Boston Red Sox scores” or “United Airlines Flight 541″ simply by speaking them into the device. Vlingo’s deal to get its speech recognition technology included in oneSearch was seen as a major coup for the Harvard Square startup, which has about 35 employees and recently closed a $20 million Series B financing round led by Yahoo. Nuance filed its lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a jurisdiction famous for favoring plaintiffs in patent-infringement cases. Xconomy obtained a copy of Nuance’s complaint. It alleges that Vlingo’s speech recognition software—including “without limitation, products and services Vlingo is supplying to Yahoo! oneSearch”—infringes on U.S. Patent No. 6,766,295, which was issued to Nuance engineers Hy Murviet and Ashvin Kannan in 2004. The patent covers a technique for making computerized transcription of a users’ speech more accurate over time using audio samples from multiple sessions such as phone calls. The suit seeks unspecified monetary damages and attorney fees, and also asks the court to “preliminarily and permanently restrain” Vlingo and its business partners from making, using, and selling the allegedly infringing software. Those partners would presumably include Yahoo. “Nuance has invested significant resources in developing technologies, building solutions and acquiring intellectual property,” Jo-Anne Sinclair, vice president and general counsel of Nuance Communications, said in a press release announcing the lawsuit. “These inventions and the intellectual property protecting those inventions are a cornerstone of our business. We take great pride in and place significant value on our patents and will aggressively protect our intellectual property rights through all available means.” A spokesperson for Vlingo said that company executives were still reading through the lawsuit and were not ready to comment publicly. While their technologies may or may not be similar, Nuance and Vlingo have definitely shared personnel. Vlingo’s chief technology officer and co-founder, Michael Phillips, is a former Nuance employee; he landed there in 2003 when Nuance (called Scansoft at the time) acquired Speechworks, a Boston-based MIT spinoff where Phillips was principal scientist. After Phillips left Nuance, he waited a year for his non-compete agreement with the company to expire before starting Vlingo, according to the Boston Globe . (Full disclosure: Mike Phillips is brother-in-law to Greg Huang, Xconomy’s Seattle editor. Greg was not involved in the reporting, writing, or editing of this story.)

I mean if you were talking to your wife in another room about how you thought the snack food you were eating tasted icky you would be then open to a lawsuit for Defamation.” If there was any kind of insurance, it would likely be tied into an Errors and Omissions policy. Since I am streaming live, anything can and will happen. It’s live! I’m much more cognizant now of things I am doing and saying. There are times I can be a little more human that what people expect of me. Could I be sued for saying that something tastes like junk? Well, I’m sure I could.. but it’s unlikely. Unless I state it is fact that something tastes nasty, then yes. A company could try to sue me for damages. However, if I just tell you that my opinion is that it’s yucky… then there’s nothing a company can do. As long as what I’m saying isn’t presented as fact, I’m ok. I’m no lawyer, certainly… but that’s the way I understand it. There are times when I wish I had muted before something was said or done. In fact, just the other day, I had Showtime playing on my desktop while I was out of the office. Granted, it was postage stamp sized… but something came on that was extremely NOT appropriate.
