Michael Doyle is a soft-spoken cellular biologist who really wants to spend his days on research.
But he's also the famous inventor who took on Microsoft and - so far - has won.
In a surprise decision, a federal jury said last month that Doyle, 44, should be paid $521 million by Microsoft because Microsoft, the jury said, violated his patent.
In 1993, Doyle invented a way for Web browsers to automatically summon programs over the Internet. He says the technology was incorporated into Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
