News Breaks November 18, 2009 06:53 EDT MSFT Microsoft infringed on Zhongyi’s intellectual property rights, FT says Microsoft (MSFT) was found by a Chinese court to have infringed Zhongyi Electronic's intellectual property rights, the Financial Times reports. Microsoft’s use of two Chinese fonts developed by Beijing-based Zhongyi, was not covered by a licence agreement between the two. Once the ruling takes effect, Microsoft must stop selling all PC operating systems that use the fonts including the Chinese language editions of the second edition of Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Microsoft said it believed its licence agreements with the plaintiff covered its use of the fonts in question and it would appeal against the verdict.
