An appeals court overturned a U.S. compensation of 358 million dollars in damages against the software maker Microsoft, for a protracted patent dispute with telecoms equipment firm Alcatel-Lucent.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which handles many cases of patents and trademarks, indirectly held that Microsoft infringed Alcatel patents, but determined that the damages was not justified and therefore should fail again.
A federal court judge last year to compensate for the Alcatel-Lucent $ 358 million for damage produced by Microsoft, as a result of a violation of patents related to technology that allows users to enter their commitments to schedules Outlook program, patent known as the "Day".
Alcatel-Lucent officials were not immediately available for comment on the decision.
A Microsoft spokesman said the company will comment on the court order once you have reviewed.
