Jury rules for Alcatel in Microsoft patent case
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft said on Friday a U.S. jury awarded Alcatel-Lucent $367.4 million in damages after finding that the company had violated two patents related to the user interface in its software.
Microsoft said Alcatel-Lucent was seeking $1.5 billion in damages related to the four patents named in the case and the jury in U.S. District Court in San Diego found Microsoft did not infringe on Alcatel's video decoding technology patent.
The fourth patent in the lawsuit was asserted only against Dell Inc, which was found not to have infringed, according to Microsoft.
