SEATTLE (AP) -- A federal judge ordered Microsoft Corp. to pay Alcatel-Lucent $511.6 million in damages and interest, letting stand a jury's decision that the software maker infringed on two patents.
Microsoft vowed to appeal the decision, which marked the latest move in a 5-year-old patent scuffle between the two companies.
The world's largest software maker had asked the U.S. District Court in San Diego to reconsider a federal jury's award in April to Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent of $357.7 million in damages.
