On Monday, Microsoft and UK phone maker Sendo announced that they had reached a settlement in their intellectual property (IP) rights theft lawsuit, with Sendo dropping all charges against the software giant. Though exact terms of the settlement have not been revealed, a Sendo representative said that the company was "extremely pleased with the terms" of the deal.
Sendo had sued Microsoft late 2002, after discovering that Microsoft had given Sendo's design for a Windows Mobile-Powered Smartphone to competitors in Southeast Asia. Sendo had created the first working Smartphone device and was originally going to be the first company to produce one for customers.
