The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal from Microsoft concerning its liability in a patent-infringement case involving Eolas Technologies and the University of California. A jury in 2003 ordered Microsoft to pay 521 (m) million for infringing patents held by the company and the university on code that enables a variety of software applications to work with Web browsers. An appeals court reversed parts of that decision earlier this year, sending it back to district court. Microsoft, however, appealed to the Supreme Court for a ruling on whether the appeals court was correct in basing the award on worldwide sales rather than domestic sales. The company argued that basing the award on worldwide sales is an expansion of the scope of U-S patents. Posted by GEN-ERIC at 02:05:09 am into the following categories: In The News11/01/05

Genetic analysis tool-maker Illumina Inc. is lobbing another intellectual property claim at rival Affymetrix Inc., with whom it has been mired in patent-infringement litigation for a year.

The patent application was filed in 2001 and granted by the PTO in February 2005 to Stanford University, which exclusively licensed it to ParAllele.
