Disclaimer ... I haven't investigated the claim.
However, I would not discount the possibility that Microsoft really
has patented some variation of CSV. They absolutely did *try* to
copyright the use of + and - symbols for specifying addition and
subtraction operations in VisualBASIC.
It's possible that they slipped something past the examiners. But
more likely the use of a CSV-like format was specified to be part of a
larger process. In that case the format itself might not be claimed,
but rather only the *use* of the format for some specific purpose.
IANAL,
George
