A court has Banned Software Giant Microsoft from selling Microsoft Word after Microsoft was found guilty of using a Computer program in its software violating a Patent.

The Court had given its final Decision after an year Long trial Between Microsoft and a Canadian company, called i4i Inc.

The patent in Question of Canadian Company is of 1998 regarding methods for reading XML . It is to be noted that Microsoft is using the identical technology in its latest version of Microsoft Word.

Court has odered Microsoft not to sell Word until the required changes are not implemented in Software. In addition to that. Microsoft has also to pay fine of $290 million to i4i Inc for patent violation.

According to Microsoft, upcoming Office 2010 software does not contain the code. And probably a good job too.

Microsoft is looking for Quick Solution of this Problem and it means that the new copies of word 2007 without the code owned by Canadian Company would be released soon in January.
