| Microsoft officials developing versions of Word that will be banned for sale 
| in sixty days unless the company settles a patent lawsuit or wins an appeal

Microsoft, Lucent battle in huge patent case

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) argued before an appeals court on Tuesday that its
| Outlook calendar date-picker tool did not infringe an Alcatel-Lucent
| (ALUA.PA) patent and asked for a $358 million jury verdict to be overturned.
|
| The lawsuit is the last remaining after Alcatel-Lucent and Microsoft settled
| other patent fights in December. The case was appealed from a district court
| in San Diego, where a jury ruled that Microsoft did infringe and ordered it
| to pay $358 million, or $511 million including interest.
