A long standing court case in which Microsoft has been sued for patent infringement over its Xbox Live service, is coming to a conclusion soon, with a settlement looming, says new reports.
The patents, filed in 1994 by Peter Hochstein and Jeffrey Tenenbaum, are specifically for "communicating live while playing the same videogame in separate locations".
Sony recently settled a similar lawsuit with the two men, over the PlayStation Network. The amount of the settlement was undisclosed.
