The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. this week reversed a lower court's decision against Microsoft and ordered a new trial. In the case, Eolas and the University of California accused Microsoft of improperly including technology in the Internet Explorer Web browser that allows interactive content to be embedded in a Web site, a common practice on the Internet - example for instance, "plug-ins" for viewing audio and video. Eolas sued Microsoft in 1999; the university later joined the suit, IDG News Service said. The Eolas Technologies patent case cost Microsoft a $521m fine in 2003. Microsoft was allowed to present evidence that could invalidate the patent licensed by University of California Exclusively to Eolas Inc. Microsoft said the technology claimed by the plaintiffs was "prior art," meaning it had been in use by others when claimed as a patent. Microsoft plans to show the court web browser Viola, designed by a student at University of California a year before the Eolas patent was issued in 1994.

A U.S. judge threw out a patent- infringement lawsuit filed by a Canadian company that sought $500 million from Intel Corp., the world's biggest computer-chip maker. U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee in Alexandria, Virginia, granted Intel's request to dismiss the case on Feb. 9. The judge said he will consider Intel's request to force closely held All Computers Inc. to pay Intel's legal fees. Toronto-based All Computers claimed that Intel's Pentium and Celeron chips infringed a 1996 patent owned by All Computers for circuitry used to replace slower microprocessors with faster devices in computers. All Computers claimed it pioneered the technology that helped companies make faster computers. Lee said Intel didn't infringe the patent.
