Microsoft, IBM fingered over biometric code

Touch scream

INTERNATIONAL AUTOMATED Systems (IAS) said it has started legal action against Microsoft, IBM and other companies, claiming they've breached patents itowns.

The patents are 6,191,410; 6,255,641; and 6,444.969.

These patents relate to sensing fingerprint, hands, retina and autogenerating a digital code. The code is then used to identify an individual, with IAS saying the market will be worth $5.7 billion by 2010.
