Microsoft Files "Emergency Motion" To Ship Word

Posted by kdawson on from the my-word dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "Several days after a judge ordered Microsoft to halt sales of Word and handed down $290M in fines, the software giant has moved to stop the ban. On Friday Microsoft filed an emergency motion to stop the judgment and waive the bond requirement, according to court filings. The actual document was filed under seal, so the full contents of the request have not yet been made public."

    I hate to be on Microsoft's side but they are right on this one. Maybe if they fight off enough patent trolls they will join in efforts to reform patents out of self preservation.

      What did they steal, exactly?

      I'm pretty sure you're using the wrong word there. i4i weren't actually deprived of anything were they? And if you say "profit" or "a secret", then I'm going to conclude that you must also support calling copyright infringement "theft".

    State level judges should not have this much power to effect global companies. Decisions like this should only be enforceable at a supreme court level.
