QUOTE i4i Inc, a Toronto-based company, won an injunction against Microsoft regarding the company's XML patents. The injunction “prohibits Microsoft from selling or importing to the United States any Microsoft Word products that have the capability of opening .XML, .DOCX or DOCM files (XML files) containing custom XML," and Microsoft has 60 days to comply. http://mason360.com/20090812497/News/Techn...-in-the-us.html http://www.softsailor.com/news/6453-texas-...ted-states.html |

This is why software patents are bullshit. Look over the patent that the company claims -- it's vague, it's bullshit, and Microsoft should easily be able to claim prior art on it anyway. Something like XML has been around for decades.
