US patent office gives i4i Word up in Microsoft snub

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's request to have the patent claim 
| it brought against Canadian software maker 
| i4i examined has been thrown out by the US 
| Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
| 
| i4i said it was pleased that all the claims 
| of US patent number 5,787,449 that belong to 
| the company came out unscathed following a 
| re-examination called for by Microsoft.
