Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Dodges Bullet As US Trade Commission Clears Company Of Patent Infringement

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) dodged a bullet yesterday after the US International Trade Commission decided not to implement an import ban on the company as part of a long standing patent conflict with InterDigital, which had accused Microsoft of infringing on two of the latter's wireless patents. Both parties seemingly have a disagreement over how much InterDigital should charge for its patents that are about basic technologies used in the cellphone industry.
