Patent firm Eolas Technologies lost an appeal against Google, J.C. Penney, Yahoo and Amazon.com in a long-drawn lawsuit involving key Web patents.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed without comment on Monday an order by a federal court in Texas, which had ruled in July last year that several claims relating to the two patents in the suit were invalid.Eolas in Tyler, Texas, filed a patent infringement suit in 2009, accusing 22 companies including Adobe Systems, Google, Yahoo, Apple, eBay and Amazon.com of unlicensed use of its patents in websites and other products.Some of the companies including Texas Instruments and Oracle settled and signed licensing deals with the company.
