Microsoft loses $140m patent appeal
A US appeals court has upheld a district court's ruling that ordered Microsoft and Autodesk to pay millions of dollars to a Michigan company for patent infringement. The court earlier this month affirmed an August 2006 decision by a lower Texas court, which upheld a jury decision in another district court awarding z4 Technologies $115 million from Microsoft and $18 million from Autodesk to settle a patent-infringement suit.

The Texas court also awarded $25 million more from Microsoft to z4 to settle the case, originally filed in September 2004, and denied Microsoft's request for a new trial.
