Microsoft hit with $1.52 billion patent suit damages
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. federal jury found that Microsoft Corp. infringed audio patents held by Alcatel-Lucent and should pay $1.52 billion in damages, Microsoft said on Thursday.
Microsoft said it plans to seek relief on the verdict from the trial court, in San Diego. It said the verdict is unsupported by the law or facts, and it may appeal.
Alcatel-Lucent had accused the world's biggest software maker of infringing patents related to standards used for playing computer music files.
"We made strong arguments supporting our view and we are pleased with the court's decision," said Alcatel-Lucent spokeswoman Joan Campion, declining to discuss details of the decision.
