==The Situation== *i4i owned patent for a method of editing custom XML **Patent covered splitting content from XML tags ("metacode") - you could work on each aspect separately which offers and advantage *i4i accuses Microsoft of infringing with their product, Microsoft Word ==Decision== Microsoft infringed, willingly, and must pay i4i $200 million ==In Class== *Remedies for infringement - civil action (not criminal) *Injunction - court orders someone to do something - in this case, court orders Microsoft to stop selling, using, providing support for products involving the infringed claims. *JMOL=saw all the evidence, it was not sufficient for a decision - then you need a JMOL (here, the court ruled that there was enough evidence and rejected the request for a JMOL) **Only JMOL that the court grants is in regards to the injunction time frame (judge rules that it should be 6 mo. rather than 30 days as was originally ruled by the jury)
