Eolas vs. Microsoft Verdict Stands, Despite ReExam

Posted by simoniker on from the big-webbing-deal dept.

theodp writes "A federal judge on Wednesday upheld a jury's $521 million verdict against Microsoft in the high-profile Web browser patent infringement lawsuit, denying Microsoft's motion to suspend a decision until the USPTO completes a reexamination of the patent. Eolas was also awarded prejudgment interest of $45 million. An injunction against future sales of IE that contain technology based on Eolas' patent was also granted, but put on hold pending an appeal."

    Where can I buy this 'internet explorer'?

    Does it run on plan 9?

    It will be interesting to see if they separate IE from Windows in a way they said was impossible!
