Thanks Good Point, just two small caveats

I would take exception to the characterization that MSFT didn't "find out" about the the lawsuit until October 2015. If the case was filed in June 2015, then surely MSFT council (if not some ambulance chasing law firm) would have known and alerted MSFT since the lawyers monitor these filings.

I know this firsthand from when my company was sued. I found out by several law firms that contacted me looking for a piece of the action.

You take exception ?

You want to question JPaul's Statement ?

I can understand why you did not get a reply.

Verify first... What could he say, other than Check it out for yourself. Rather than just remark of the cuff.


The dates if you had taken the time and checked out the complaints first, are Exactly what JPAUL quoted. June, Oct. Nov.

He did leave out one.

Microsoft bought PhoneFactor on Oct. 4, 2012. For $8.3M I believe.

StrikeForce Filed Suit on PhoneFactor : 03/28/2013.

This was actually Microsoft's 1st Unofficial Notification.

I'm sure PhoneFactor was a little embarrassed, and may delayed a little while before telling MSFT.

Infringment on Patents 599, 698, 70

$8.3M Paid for PF + $9.7M Settlement $18M total + NDA Licencing Agreement... Ah.... MSFT still got a bargain, rather than a permanent injunction order from the court and AZURE Active Directory Shutdowm, and Shutting Down MSFT Busine$$ Services worldwide.

Please help me off the floor as I'm ROTHFLOL.

When your MSFT with a $482 Billion Market Cap, Law Firms don't call you looking for a "Piece of the Action". You have your own pool of in house Lawyers. Here's a list of 25 of them.

2nd you take exception, well here is page 3 of the of the Compalint notice the date at the top.

Then proceed to Item 13:

Which states:

On October 10, 2012, StrikeForce’s Chief Executive Officer sent a letter to Microsoft’s Chief Executive Officer giving him actual notice of the ’599 Patent. On November 29, 2012, StrikeForce’s Chief Executive Officer also sent a letter to Microsoft’s
Chief Patent Counsel giving him actual notice of the ‘599 Patent.

This is also a great piece I found a few months ago on the subject.
