WebXchange claims FedEx, Allstate and Dell's online services trample on its patents because they use Visual Studio, SOAP and Web Services.

Microsoft wants the court to tell WebXchange to take a hike, invalidate its patents based on prior art and declared Visual Studio free of taint. As you might expect FedEx, Allstate and Dell all asked Microsoft to indemnify them. Microsoft said it tried to talk to WebXchange but WebXchange, which is obviously gunning for a settlement from Microsoft, won't come to the phone. LATEST AJAXWORLD RIA STORIES
