$184 million to Cornell University for patent infringment on processor
technology used to boost computing speed, a lawyer for the university
said on Tuesday.The verdict was handed down on Friday in a federal
court presided over by Judge Randall Raider in Syracuse, New York, said
Edward Poplawski, a partner at law firm Sidley Austin.A spokesman for
HP was not immediately available for comment.The university filed the
lawsuit in December 2001 and asked for $575 million in damages.Damages
covered HP servers and workstations that used the technology and were
