Microsoft filed a brief, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals to overturn a $565 million patent infringement judgment.
The 174-page document, filed June 3, attacks a U.S. District Court decision that said Microsoft violated a patent, owned by the University of California and its Eolas spinoff. The patent describes how a Web browser can run plug-in applications.
