In A Huff
Southern
California Judge Marilyn L. Huff, upholding a jury finding, ruled that Microsoft
must pay Alcatel-Lucent $357.7 million for infringing
4,763,356, claiming a user interface for choosing a calendar date from a
menu, used in Microsoft programs Outlook, Money, and Windows Mobile. Further,
infringing stylus patent
5,347,295 with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition comes with a $10.35 million
price tag. The $368 million tab inflates to $511.6 million with prejudgment
interest ($139.5 million). Needless to say, Microsoft vows appeal.
Dell was ordered to pay more than $70,000, including prejudgment interest.
