WHAT SFOR ORIGINALLY AND LEGALLY REQUESTED FROM MICROSOFT


Due to the Non-Disclosure we don't know what settlement was reached.
But here is what SFOR was Seeking:


Facts Du Jour

June 15, 2015

The company, according to its complaint, sent a letter to Microsoft’s CEO in October 2012 giving him actual notice of the ‘599 patent. The next month, StrikeForce sent another letter -- this time, to Microsoft’s chief patent counsel -- also giving actual notice of the patent.


StrikeForce contends that in the next year, Microsoft began offering its Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication product, with multi-factor authentication apps for Windows Phone, Android and IOS devices.

Microsoft continues to offer out-of-band authentication at no additional cost for its Active Directory, Windows Azure Active Directory and Office 365 products as a value-added feature, StrikeForce noted in its complaint.



As a result, StrikeForce is seeking: a judgment that Microsoft has infringed its patents; that Microsoft is willfully infringing; an order, by Microsoft, to account for and to pay it actual damages, including damages for lost profits; an award of treble damages; a preliminary injunction; a permanent injunction; and a written report, by Microsoft, setting forth in detail the “manner and form” it has complied with the injunction.



In lieu of a permanent injunction, StrikeForce is seeking an order requiring Microsoft to pay it monetary damages that will be suffered as a result of Microsoft’s “continuing post-verdict infringement” of the patents by forcing Microsoft to take a compulsory license at a reasonable royalty rate on all products that utilize the three patents.



StrikeForce also is asking for costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

Last week, the case was assigned to Judge Richard G. Andrews.
