Microsoft seeks XML-related patents
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/01/24/1346209

    Microsoft has applied for patents that could prevent competing
    applications from processing documents created with the latest
version
    of the software giant's Office program. The company filed patent
    applications in New Zealand and the European Union that cover word
    processing documents stored in the XML (Extensible Markup Language)
    format. The proposed patent would cover methods for an application
    other than the original word processor to access data in the
document.
    The U.S. Patent Office had no record of a similar application.
