Microsoft settles InterTrust suit for $440 million | |

Microsoft plans to announce Monday that it has reached a $440 million legal settlement and licensing deal with the InterTrust Technologies, a private company and a pioneer in the development of software to protect digital music and movies from piracy. The settlement of InterTrust's patent infringement suit, filed in 2001, is the latest in Microsoft's continuing drive to resolve its legal disputes. It comes less than two weeks after the company, the world's largest software maker, agreed to pay Sun Microsystems $1.6 billion to settle Sun's private antitrust suit against Microsoft and to resolve patent claims. | ||

#2 "Daum, which has its own messaging service, said it had filed a 10 billion won ($8.74 million) indemnity suit at the Seoul District Court."
$8million isn't going to hurt Microsoft, they could easily go up to them and settle for $4million. However this does bring into question whether or not the EU will also now fine Microsoft for their inclusion of Windows Messenger (after all, I'm sure it's a "key component"). |
