Microsoft infringed patent, fined with $290 million

The court has said Microsoft had violated patents owned by Canadian software company i4i Inc.

The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit had ordered Microsoft to stop selling Word programs containing the infringing code from Jan 11, 2010. It also upheld jury-imposed damages of $290 million.

Microsoft Wednesday issued a patch for its Word software to comply with the court ruling regarding the use of XML in its Word software

The patch will be installed on new machines..
