2008-1155 MIT v Abacus Software (Microsoft)

Page history last edited by PBworks 4 years ago

How the case got here:

This case was first filed in 2001: 1630+ dockets entries and one earlier appeal (462 F.3d 1344) later, plaintiffs stipulated to non-infringement by Microsoft after the Court contrued to the term "aesthetic correction circuitry" to be limited to hardware rather than hardware and software. Judge David Folsom adopted Magistrate Judge Caroline Craven's Report and Recommendation (show_case_doc-5), which relies on the Federal Circuit's first decision as well as prosecution history statements.
