NEWS Xerox has won the support of the Patent Office in its legal battle against 3Com for patent violation of the handwriting recognition software used in the PalmPilot. Xerox claims 3Com used its 'unistroke' technology in its Palm software. Xerox originally sued US Robotics before it was taken over by 3Com.
