"Microsoft stole patent, lawyer claims" by Bloomberg News | April 8, 2009

PROVIDENCE - Microsoft Corp. stole a Singapore company's patented invention used to deter piracy and should pay more than $558 million in royalties, a lawyer told a federal court jury.

Uniloc Singapore Private Ltd. and Uniloc USA Inc., based in Irvine, Calif., claim Microsoft used its security technology to earn billions of dollars. Microsoft saw Uniloc's patent and used it without permission, the lawyer, Paul Hayes, told jurors yesterday during closing arguments in Providence.

Microsoft had "nothing unique going in" to create its antipiracy software, said Hayes, of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo in Boston. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., contends it uses a different method to prevent the use of unauthorized copies of its software. It also challenged whether Uniloc's patent covers a new invention. "There is no infringement in this case," Frank Scherkenbach, an attorney representing Microsoft with Boston's Fish & Richardson, said yesterday in his closing argument. "The technology is fundamentally different."

Microsoft claims Uniloc's patent should be deemed invalid.

Invalidate their charter! Let's see what that does!
