Supreme Court won't review Microsoft patent appeal | |
|
||
| Time: 13:11 EST/18:11 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: John Quigley | ||

The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear Microsoft's appeal in a lawsuit that has resulted in a preliminary jury verdict of over $500 million for alleged patent infringement in Internet Explorer. The court's decision not to hear the case involving Eolas Technologies, announced without comment on Monday, clears the way for proceedings to continue before a federal district judge. The August 2003 decision from a federal jury in Chicago sent shock waves across the Internet. If Eolas and its business partner, the University of California, eventually prevail, the effects could force a redesign of Web pages that use plug-in applications like Macromedia Flash and Adobe Acrobat that run inside a Web browser. In subsequent attempts to convince Congress to reform federal patent laws, Microsoft has cited the Eolas case as an example of "abusive litigation" that should be curbed by legislative action. | ||
