The latest on Uniloc vs Microsoft

In case you have lost track of where the case between Uniloc and Microsoft is at these days here is the latest:

  • We won the appeal that reversed the judges decision to ignore the Jury's $388 million win in 2009.
  • But the appeal judges made us go back to court to review the settlement amount.
  • Uniloc tried to have the appeal judges consider just letting us go with the original $388 but they were persistent. Note this does not mean a LOWER figure... just a figure based on a calculation that does not use the 25% rule... a bit confusing.
  • Uniloc is waiting to hear when it will have a court date to go after a damages amount, but this time we do it with the courts ruling that Microsoft IS GUILTY.
So there it is... that's the latest

Note: The 25% rule has been used a lot to determine what percentage of the product should be paid in damages if someone uses a patented technology illegally.

  1. Hey I'm one of Steve coxs' nephews and I just wanted to say congrats for winining the case. I remember when he told me about the invention over introducing me to star wars x-wing back in the day and never thought much of it as I didn't, for the most part, know what he was talking about. I imagine money didn't have much to do with the decision to go after them as it was the fact that they completely stole the idea! Congrats again.
