Patent Suit Day Continues: Microsoft Takes Fight With i4i Over XML To The Supreme Court

While not the biggest Microsoft-related lawsuit news of the day, Microsoft just announced that it'll be taking its patent infringement case against Canadian technology firm i4i to the highest level, the US Supreme Court.

Last August a federal court of appeals upheld the decision of a lower court that Microsoft had in fact infringed i4i's XML patent ('449), by introducing Microsoft WORD in 2003 and continuing the XML editing capabilities through 2007. Microsoft was ordered to pay i4i $290 million dollars in fees and change the disputed version of Word.UNISYS TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED TRIDENT MICROSYSTEMS TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS
