Sony Corp. settled a patent-infringement lawsuit filed by the California Institute of Technology over digital cameras. “CalTech hereby informs the court that it has resolved its dispute with Sony Electronics and Tokyo-based Sony Corp.,” the school said in a June 23 filing in Los Angeles.

CalTech sued six digital-camera companies, including Canon Inc. and Nikon Corp., seeking royalties on 11 patents related to digital-camera technology. Some of the inventions relate to pixel sensors that improve electronically transmitted images and came from research CalTech did for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to information on the patents.
