Remember Chuck Bigelow's article on type protection? Did you catch this
article from the "TypeWorld" newspaper, vol X #9, July 11, 1986:

     "CG Settles suit

      Wilmington, MA -- Compugraphic Corporation has announced that it has settl
      litigation instituted against the company by Information International Inc
      Culver City, Calif. The patent in question is for a character-generating m
      and system.
          The details of the installment-payment settlement were not disclosed.
      Compugraphic has announced that it will incur a non-recurring pretax charg
      approximately $2 million against the earnings of the second quarter of thi
      As a result, the company expects to report a loss of $2 million for the pe
      June 28, 1986. Compugraphic had previously reported that it expected net i
      in the second quarter to approach a breakeven or a possible loss.
          Compugraphic does not expect the settlement's impact on the financial
      results of future quarters to be material."

I wonder who is next...?
