Microsoft expands Alcatel-Lucent fight
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft and Alcatel-Lucent continued their legal tussle, with Microsoft taking the latest shot with its claim that Alcatel-Lucent infringed on four of its patents.
Microsoft said in a filing last week with the U.S. District Court of Delaware that Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent violated four patents dealing with computer and phone systems that monitor and run calls, messages and video communications. Microsoft claimed Alcatel was already selling products that used the technology.
The software giant wants the court to ban the further sale of products using the technology and is seeking damages for the patent violations.
