Frankfurt - A US federal court has ordered Europe's biggest software maker, SAP AG, to pay 138.6 million dollars to Versata Software Inc for violating the American group's patents, SAP said Thursday.
'SAP is reviewing the decision and is considering further steps,' a spokesman for the German-based SAP.
An appeal is possible, said the SAP spokesman, which is also the world's biggest maker of business-management software. Versata Software launched the legal action in 2007.
