PC World | at | by Mike

Microsoft called the claim by Canadian developer i4i Inc. that it plotted to drive the company out of business "distorted," and "a breathless tale" that was not supported by the evidence, according to a court documents.At the least, Microsoft told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal District, it deserves a new trial.

"At minimum, a new trial is warranted," the company said in a reply brief filed Monday.But Microsoft also pressed the appeals court for a complete reversal, saying that decisions made by the Texas lower court led "to erroneous verdicts of infringement and validity, and grossly unsupportable damages."
