Have they ever thought about respect patents? Microsoft faces $62.3 million in damages after a jury’s decision that the software giant willfully infringed on a patent held by printing software player Imagexpo, LLC, in its NetMeeting whiteboarding feature.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit, brought against Microsoft in Oct. 2002 in federal court in Richmond, Va., stemmed from charges that the company infringed on a patent covering real-time conferencing. The patent is held by Imagexpo, a subsidiary of industrial and flow technology concern SPX Corporation that develops remote softproofing and annotation software for the printing industry.<\/p>\n
That software centers around a tool that enables multi-person conferences for the purpose of reviewing and editing prepress images. In its lawsuit, Imagexpo claimed that the whiteboarding feature in Windows NetMeeting infringed on the patent protecting that tool.<\/p>\n
Microsoft spokespeople maintained the company had independently developed the technology underlying NetMeeting, a chat and collaboration tool that has been a part of Microsoft Windows for years.<\/p>\n
