I'll send it again. 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 settled patent litigation instituted against the company by Information International Inc., Culver City, Calif. The patent in question is for a character-generating method and system. The details of the installment-payment settlement were not disclosed. However, Compugraphic has announced that it will incur a non-recurring pretax charge of approximately $2 million against the earnings of the second quarter of this year. As a result, the company expects to report a loss of $2 million for the period June 28, 1986. Compugraphic had previously reported that it expected net income 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."
