The Federal Patent Court has declared a Microsoft patent on the file
allocation system File Allocation Table (FAT) invalid for the Federal
Republic of Germany.
The claim in question is the protection claim granted by the European
Patent Office under EP 0618540 for a "common namespace for long and
short filenames."
