The software giant asked for the new trial, citing several factors, including the unusual proportions of the jury's judgment and the court's refusal to allow discussion of some prior art or similar technology that Microsoft believes predated the Eolas patent and should therefore invalidate it.
Microsoft mentioned one piece of prior art in particular, the Viola browser, invented by Perry Pei-Yuan Wei, an artist, software engineer and then a student at the University of California at Berkeley. That browser dates back to 1991 and its plug-in capabilities to 1992, nearly two years before Eolas filed for its patent.
Alors si vous vouliez bien faire l'effort de vous renseigner un minimum plutot que balancer ces scenarios a la con, ca serait sympa et ca ameliorerait le niveau du debat, ca devient gonflant ces theories de conspiration mondiale.
