MSFT pays $440MM to settle DRM patent
dispute
04/12/2004 06:17 AM

Microsoft has settled its patent dispute with Sony/Philips, who acquired a company called Intertrust solely for its patent on DRM, which conflicted with the patent that Microsoft got when it took a controlling interest in another company called ContentGuard.

Microsoft is paying $440m to settle its long-running digital rights management (DRM) patent infringement dispute with Intertrust. The one-off pay-out means that Microsoft customers can use their software "as they are intended to be used without requiring a license from InterTrust".

A three-and-a-half-year dispute between Microsoft and a Texas Web-hosting operation has ended, with one becoming a partner to the other in the process. Dallas-Fort Worth-based C I Host announced on Monday that a federal judge dismissed a long-running suit filed against it by Microsoft. C I Host is a global Web host and data center operator, serving 215,000 individual consumers and businesses in 190 countries. The dispute goes back to September 2001, when Microsoft said it first notified the hosting company of its concerns that it might not have taken a service provider license agreement for Windows server products. According to the complaint, C I Host responded in December 2001 by denying wrongdoing and threatening to sue Microsoft for defamation if it went public with the charges.
