 Microsoft hit with $242 million US verdict in Cortana patent lawsuit
==========

Microsoft has been ordered to pay $242 million to patent owner IPA Technologies after a federal jury in Delaware found that Microsoft's Cortana virtual-assistant software infringed an IPA patent. The jury agreed with IPA after a week-long trial that Microsoft's voice-recognition technology violates IPA's patent rights in computer-communications software. IPA is a subsidiary of patent-licensing company Wi-LAN, which is jointly owned by Canadian technology company Quarterhill and two investment firms. Microsoft plans to appeal the verdict.
