Microsoft plans to release a special "compatibility patch" that will temporarily undo some upcoming changes to Internet Explorer.
Microsoft has settled a long-running and expensive lawsuit with Eolas Technologies, a start-up backed by the University of California that alleged Internet Explorer infringed a patent.
Striking a blow to Microsoft, the US Patent Office this week reaffirmed a key Web-browsing patent that the software maker is accused of infringing.
Microsoft on Tuesday released a "critical" Internet Explorer update that fixes 10 vulnerabilities in the Web browser, including a high-profile bug that is already being used in cyberattacks.
The US Supreme Court will not hear Microsoft's appeal in a lawsuit that has resulted in a preliminary jury verdict of more than US$500 million for alleged patent infringement in Internet Explorer.
Microsoft told the Web's leading standards body that it's considering making changes to its Internet Explorer browser in light of a recent ruling against the company in a patent infringement lawsuit.
