The US patent office has granted a Microsoft patent application, 7,571,169: "Word-processing document stored in a single XML file that may be manipulated by applications that understand XML"
"On the face of it, the patent would appear to cover all usage of XML and XSDs in word processing document, which would effectively leave all other modern word processors - and other software that used their documents - liable to licensing by the company".
