Microsoft Asks for Rehearing in Word Case
Microsoft asked for rehearing in the Word case that requires the software giant to pay US$290 million in damages and prevents it from selling the current version of Word starting this Monday. All the previous attempts to make any changes to this case led to nothing. We remind you that this is regarding the fact that patented code has been used in previous versions of Microsoft Word allowing users to create custom XML documents, which originally belonged to i4i. It is unlikely that the court will decide in Micrisift’s favor, so the software giant stated that it is ready to sell Microsoft Word with the feature under question removed from the functionality.
