eldavojohn writes "For violating two Alcatel-Lucent patents in its Windows user interface, Microsoft was ordered to pay Alcatel-Lucent $367 Million Friday. From the article, "Microsoft, which will seek to have the verdict overturned, said Alcatel-Lucent was seeking $1.5 billion in damages related to the four patents named in the case. Microsoft said the jury found that Microsoft did not infringe on Alcatel's video decoding technology patent. The fourth patent in the lawsuit was asserted only against Dell Inc (DELL.O: Quote, Profile, Research), which was found not to have infringed, according to Microsoft." Maybe these big patent holding companies will start to feel the pain from each other of software patents and finally succumb to their own money making schemes?" Link to Original Source
