Aussie Tech Update: The Man v Microsoft

Well we did promise an update on the interesting story of Ric Richardson, who was appealing a US court decision in favour of Microsoft for a patent infringement. As a positive note for his cause, he has been successful this week in the appeals court in reinstating the original ruling, which ordered Microsoft to pay Uniloc $338 million USD for the infringement.

Richardson isĀ  a well-known inventor, who invented the patent in question which was aimed at software piracy detection, in the 1990s.

Whats next for this man? Sony and McAfee apparently! Watch this space.
