LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Michigan man on Wednesday was awarded $133 million by a Texas jury in a patent dispute against Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and Autodesk Inc. (ADSK.O: Quote, Profile, Research), a spokeswoman for Microsoft said. Microsoft was ordered to pay $115 million, and Autodesk was required to pay $18 million to David Colvin, the founder of z4 Technologies Inc., who sued the two software companies in federal court, claiming they appropriated two of his anti-piracy software patents with Microsoft's Office and Windows XP and Autodesk's AutoCad programs, the spokeswoman said. | ||
