Microsoft vs. i4i Round 3 Goes to i4i
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is fighting a hard battle, but
| it is clear the courts and USPTO agree
| i4iâs patent for the XML feature is valid
| and Microsoft willingly infringed the
| patent. Microsoft apparently sees value
| in the XML feature and therefore should do
| one of three things:
|
| 1. create a work around and not use the
| XML feature
|
| 2. buy i4i outright
|
| 3. develop a partnership with i4i and pay
| them licensing fees for the technology.

Can't Beat 'Em, Microsoft? Sue 'Em!

| A few months back, my Foolish colleague
| Rick Munarriz regaled you with the tale of
| how Microsoft bullied Amazon.com (Nasdaq:
| AMZN) into a cross-licensing agreement,
| presumably because the e-tailer trampled
| upon its IP rights in the course of using
| Linux to service its Kindle. Mr. Softie
| has made similar accusations, to good
| effect, against everyone from Hewlett-
| Packard (NYSE: HPQ) to Apple to Novell
| (Nasdaq: NOVL), receiving similar deals in
| each case.

How to sue Microsoft - and win
,----[ Quote ]
| Prepare your case. When it comes to taking
| on a company the size and stature of
| Microsoft, don't expect legal eagles to
| bang down your door.
|
| Instead, Owen says, "we assembled the
| [patent infringement] claim, the
| background and the history in an
| extraordinarily detailed, analytical way.
| We prepared the case as best we could
| independently before meeting with leading
| counsel and luminaries in the industry."
|
| Don't lose track of your day job. A much-
| ballyhooed, two-year legal battle against
| Microsoft can significantly distract
| employees and completely consume a
| company's top brass.

OPTi Shows: When You Can't Compete In The Market, You Sue For Patent Infringement
,----[ Quote ]
| Reader BakaYaro points us to this article
| about OPTi, the company that recently won a
| $21.7 million patent ruling against Apple,
| where the company's CEO insists it's not a
| patent troll because it's only suing over
| patents that it got itself. It seems that
| Bernie Marren is trying to redefine what a
| "patent troll" is to mean just someone who
| buys patents and sues. But the real story
| shows that OPTi is yet another example of
| patents harming, not helping, innovation. The
| company used to produce products, but other
| companies eventually caught up, and OPTi
| couldn't compete.
