Microsoft Must Pay $512M Over Alcatel-Lucent Patents

Microsoft must pay Alcatel-Lucent $511.6 million, after a federal court refused to overturn an earlier jury verdict against the software giant. Judge Marilyn L. Huff refused to reconsider an April jury verdict that Microsoft infringed Alacatel-Lucent patents regarding how Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mobile sets the date and stylus-based computers. The jury awarded Alcatel-Lucent $357.7 plus $10.4 million for the stylus patent infringement. In addition to reaffirming the jury's earlier decision, Huff increased the damages Microsoft must pay to include interest that had accrued over the five-year lifetime of the court case. Microsoft said it would appeal the ruling. By Ms.Bobby Aanand, Metropolitan Jury.
