Microsoft has overturned a ban on it selling its flagship Word software, imposed after a patent dispute...The US court said Microsoft had met the conditions needed to grant the stay. Arguments in Microsoft's appeal against the earlier ruling are due to be heard on 23 September.
"We are happy with the result and look forward to presenting our arguments on the main issues on September 23," said Kevin Kutz, a Microsoft spokesman, in a statement.
There was popular support by major computer makers who would have been inconvenienced by this Word sale ban. Input by local companies, like Dell, might have been a factor.
