[OT] Court injunction: MS can't sell Word ---
From the Toronto Globe & Mail; Aug. 12, 2009 02:17PM EDT A U.S. judge issued a permanent injunction preventing Microsoft Corp. (MSFT-Q23.640.512.20%) from selling its flagship “Word” software in the United States, agreeing with a jury verdict that the company willfully violated a patent held by a small Toronto firm. Patent infringements happen all the time. What caught my eye was that the federal court judge found MS had "...*willfully* violated a patent..." It isn't often that the "old" MS gets caught out like that. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/canadian-firm-gets-patent-win-over-microsoft/article1249534/ |
