Perhaps the real target is not Microsoft at all but Google? How does Google handle all that unstructured data it compiles? Is it Microsoft’s strategy to deliberately lose?

Rob-

If after Microsoft pays the patent is later successfully challenged and lost Microsoft will have no ability to go back and retrieve the money from i4i. Unless Microsoft can get the case overturned on appeal to the Supreme Court, which is extremely unlikely, they will have to pay and even if the patent is later found to be improperly granted will not have any recourse. Microsoft had the opportunity to make its case that the patent claims were invalid and did not, so now they have to live with that.

As for i4i having done anything inappropriate, that would be impossible to prove given that both the USPTO, the district court and now the Federal Circuit have all agreed that the patent claims were appropriate and not invalid.

What will happen if the patent is found to be based on prior art in the reexamination in two years.
Will Microsoft have to open a case against i4i then to retrieve the money ?
Can Microsoft make preempetive case on the i4i company reserving the damages during the time of the reexamination ?
Will i4i have to repay all 290 million and possibly punative damges for filing a patent that was based on prior art and sueing other for that ?
