Nero today announced that the patent infringement suit brought against it by Sonic Solutions in November 2006 has been voluntarily withdrawn.

The suit, filed in the United States district court in Marshall, Texas, alleged that Nero?s video editing software infringed on Sonic?s U.S. Patent No. 6,204,840.

"Throughout this process we were adamant that the allegations were baseless and that Nero is not guilty of any improprieties in the design and performance of its video editing software," said Udo Eberlein, COO, Nero AG. "We commend Sonic for realizing the unwarranted basis of this claim and voluntarily dropping the lawsuit."
