Microsoft word is in danger of being taken off the shelves for a couple of months, but not until later in the month.
The Microsoft corp. was able to stall the injunction place on it by i4i, a company built on design and development of future technologies and holder of the XML patent that Microsoft uses.
A district court in Texas placed the injunction on Microsoft, which ordered that it pull Word, a document creating software, off the shelves because it was violating the XML patent.
With the stay placed on the injunction, Microsoft has until Sept. 23 to find a solution to this problem which can damage not only the company, but the consumers who use Microsoft Word on a daily basis.
