South Korea Smacks Microsoft

by Slack, on December 1st, 2006

So, I stumbled across a very pleasing article today on Slashdot. The headline read Microsoft Loses South Korea Patent Ruling. The gist of it, from what I’ve gathered is Microsoft used technology that switches between an English input system and a Korea system. It’s nice to see someone standing up to Microsoft. It always brings a smile to my face. :)

From the article:

Technology firm P&IB, which sued Microsoft on behalf of Professor Lee, wants Microsoft to ante up to the tune of W70 billion ($75 million) in a separate lawsuit covering damages. ‘Microsoft adapted our technologies to its Office package without dealing with Prof. Lee and it claimed the patents were not effective in the court,’ P&IB President Kim Kil-hae told The Korea Times.
