From TorStar “U.S. appeals court backs T.O. firm over Microsoft<\/a>“,<\/p>\n

\n

“Microsoft Corp. has lost an appeal against a small Toronto company in a patent fight that cost the world’s biggest software maker $290 million (U.S.) and forced it to alter its ubiquitous MS Word program.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

i4i v. Microsoft (CAFC 2009-1504<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\n

Since 2003, versions of Microsoft Word, a word processing and editing software, have had XML editing capabilities. In 2007, i4i filed this action against Microsoft, the developer and seller of Word.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“As with other issues in this case, Microsoft screwed its own pooch with procedural sloppiness.”<\/p>\n

“There was no hesitation to rub salt in that wound.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
