Judge: Microsoft can't sell Word anymore

<http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/176223.asp> A Texas judge ruled Tuesday that Microsoft cannot sell one of its flagship products, Word, in the United States because of patent infringement. You read that right: Microsoft cannot sell Word, the judge ruled. Judge Leonard Davis, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, ordered a permanent injunction that "prohibits Microsoft from selling or importing to the United States any Microsoft Word products that have the capability of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML," according to an announcement by the plaintiff, Toronto-based i4i Inc. XML essentially is a programming language that allows users to customize the underlying format of their word-processing documents, for example, and makes them readable across different word-processing programs. The ability to read and write XML documents is an integral feature of Microsoft Word. Photo Download the injunction (PDF) In its complaint (PDF), i4i alleges Microsoft willingly violated its 1998 patent (No. 5,787,449) on a method for reading XML. The company, whose Web site advertises that users can "Create and edit XML content in Microsoft Word," helps clients work with XML. i4i filed the lawsuit in March 2007, seeking an injunction and damages. The Eastern District of Texas is known for being a haven for patent litigation. The injunction (PDF), which becomes effective in 60 days, prohibits Microsoft from selling future Word products that allegedly use the patented technology. It also enjoins Microsoft from testing, demonstrating, marketing or offering support for those future products. Davis also ordered Microsoft to pay i4i more than $290 million in damages. "We are disappointed by the court's ruling," Microsoft spokesman Kevin Kutz said in a statement. "We believe the evidence clearly demonstrated that we do not infringe and that the i4i patent is invalid. We will appeal the verdict." Indeed, Microsoft will likely do everything in its power to overturn Tuesday's ruling. And indeed, Microsoft will likely prevail.

I walked the paths
by joe mwirigi 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

I walked along the paths of the republic. Thence I opened my eyes and saw four wicked things, two which are an abomination. Getting the entire seacom on a bundle but disconnects every 10th second, Seacom as plenty as the sea but power as scarce as genuine China-mades . Lighting the republic when its dark and darkening its dreams when the sun comes up. Having a leadership that scratches its head when its feet itch. And itching for popularity among subjects trodden there under. Two are punishable by light and innovation, three by thunder.
