Microsoft Accused of Patent Infringement
Nov 11, 2008 - Shanghai, China - Xi'an based China E-commerce Info Tech Company has sued Microsoft (MSFT) for patent infringement because of the use of RSS within its Vista operating system. According to local media, Wang Jianbo, the chairman of China E-commerce, stated the company applied for a patent for RSS service in 2005, and obtained the patent certificate in December 2007 from Chinas State Intellectual Property Office. Wang says Microsoft adopted the technology in Vista without the companys authorization. Now the Xi'an Intermediate Peoples Court has accepted the case in which China E-commerce requests Microsoft to stop the infringement and stop selling Vista, which adopted RSS technology in China.
