On August 13, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft was fined again in a lawsuit where the Canadian company i4i accused Microsoft of infringement. Following the $200 million fine imposed in May, the U.S. District Court in Texas yesterday ruled that, in addition to the $200 million fine, Microsoft must also pay an additional $40 million and $37 million in fines, bringing the total fines to nearly $280 million. The court also ordered Microsoft to halt the sale of all Word products with XML functionality in the United States within 60 days.
