Microsoft has found itself facing a $200 million penalty after losing a patent suit. A US district court in Texas has ruled that the company violated software patents held by Canadian software firm i4i. The case centred on patents for the handling of XML code in Microsoft Word. Among the evidence presented by i4i was Microsoft emails which the plaintiffs said not only demonstrated infringement on the patents, but knowledge by Microsoft of the infringement. Due to the wilful infringement, the judge ruled that Microsoft could face an even stiffer penalty. | ||
