Microsoft did not infringe on patents over technology that helps computers boot up faster, a Texas court ruled late last week after a seven-day trial.
The suit, filed by Acceleration Software International Corp, claims that Microsoft infringed on United States patent 5933639, issued in 1999. The suit asked the court to award the patent holder $2.50 per copy of Windows XP sold in the United States, or between $600 million to $900 million.
