Looking Ahead

On March 10, 2010, the Federal Circuit granted Microsoft Corporation’s (“Microsoft”) motion for leave to file a reply in further support of its petition for en banc review of the panel decision in i4i L.P. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 09-1504 (Fed. Cir. reissued Mar. 10, 2010).  At the same time, the panel reissued its decision to provide additional details on its ruling on willfulness.  Microsoft’s en banc petition challenges a $290 million damages award as excessive and the grant of a permanent injunction as erroneous.
