South Korean company technologies used in MS Office illegally
On Friday, November 24, the South Korean Supreme Court issued a decision recognizing that Microsoft illegally used technology licensed by the South Korean company P & IB in the MS Office software package. Several P & IB patents describe the process of automatically switching languages ​​from English to Korean as you type.
“Microsoft has adapted our technology for its office suite, stating that our original design is not effective,” said P & IB President Kim Kil-he (Kim Kil-hae); his words are quoted by The Korea Times . “However, the court ruled in our favor. Thanks to this decision, we can easily win the trials currently under consideration by the Seoul Supreme Court. ”
