           Posted By: Todd Richardson |  | A federal jury awarded a Chicago-based software company and the University of California more than $520 million in damages Monday after finding that Microsoft Corp.’s popular Internet Explorer browser infringed on a patent.    MICROSOFT ATTORNEY ANDY Culbert said that the jury’s finding would be appealed.
       The jury could have awarded as much as $1.2 billion to the university and Eolas Technologies Inc. of Chicago.
       “We are very satisfied,” said Eolas attorney Martin R. Lueck. “It shows the jury system works. Patents need to be respected regardless of the size and the market power of the company involved.” |
