A U.S. judge issued a permanent injunction preventing Microsoft Corp.
(MSFT-Q23.640.512.20%) from selling its flagship “Word” software in
the United States, agreeing with a jury verdict that the company
willfully violated a patent held by a small Toronto firm.
Patent infringements happen all the time. What caught my eye was that
the federal court judge found MS had "...*willfully* violated a
patent..." It isn't often that the "old" MS gets caught out like
that.
