$358 Million Patent Judgment Against Microsoft Overturned

eldavojohn writes "Last year, Microsoft was ordered to pay Alcatel-Lucent hundreds of millions of dollars for patent infringement. Well, that award has just been overturned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, saving Microsoft a considerable sum. But Microsoft isn't in the clear yet; the appellate court said that they did infringe on Alcatel-Lucent patents, but that those infringements did not warrant $358 million in damages. The case needs to be retried."

The fact is that the EC is a group whose philosophy is based on socialistic/fascist economic beliefs. The EC, with great podding by Opera, is attempting to force Microsoft to include it in its distribution. Maybe next they will require Mercedes Benz to include Chevrolet engines in their cars.
