I haven't seen the essential claims but even IADS had made that separation before i4i. If it is a claim on external indexing from the stylesheet, Mentor Context had that in the 80s. We really need to find a copy of the SGML systems still extant. One gets tired of the patent disputes. We depend too much on the web for resources and forget the design history of our technology predates the web. len -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hunsberger [mailto:peter.hunsberger@g...] Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 9:04 AM To: CHET ENSIGN, BLOOMBERG/ B-LAW Cc: xml-dev@l...

Apparently Judge Leonard Davis, hearing a patent dispute U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, has issued an injunction ordering Microsoft to stop selling Word in its current form in the U.S. The case is "i4i Limited Partnership v. Microsoft Corporation" and it was filed in March, 2007. i4i asserts that Word's ability to generate XML violates one or more of its patents. > -- Peter Hunsberger _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
