The last I heard, Google were being sued due to the use of Courgette allegedly infringing a patent and, as a result, they had stopped using Courgette to distribute Chrome updates. Does anyone know the result of that case? Are they now using Courgette again?

Looks like it is still ongoing: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/massachusetts/madce/1:2009c... reports news from Nov 2010. Can't decode the legal language.

Red Bend's attempt at a preliminary injunction was quashed recently, with the court stating that "with insufficient evidence that Courgette infringes on at least one patent claim, Red Bend cannot prove a likelyhood of success",

I'm no lawyer, but this sounds pretty bad for Red Bend.
