Lindows/Windows Trademark Suit Heads To
Court 11/13/2003 01:37 PM
Fortune's David Kirkpatrick is looking at the Microsoft suit against Lindows.com accusing them of trademark violation. He talks to Lindows CEO Michael Robertson, and buys into his arguments completely... until he speaks to a Microsoft representative. The arguments seem to be all over the place, but the one point that is most important is whether or not people will be confused by a product called Lindows, and think it was created by Microsoft. Microsoft claims to have a study saying that 18% of people would be confused. Is that enough to force a name change? Meanwhile, Kirkpatrick points out that the folks at Microsoft should probably be more worried about the actual desktop Linux offerings that are coming along, rather than what anyone calls their products.
