05/27/2004 03:31 PMSAN FRANCISCO - In a case that could have forced Linux vendor Lindows
Inc. to change its business name worldwide, a Netherlands court on
Thursday ruled that Lindows' current limited use of the Lindows name
does not violate Microsoft Corp.'s Windows trademark.

01/04/2005 08:20 PMReally not quite sure what to make of this one, but it's too amusing
to pass up. Apparently, a few years ago, ESPN posted a picture of
famed daredevil Evel Knievel with his arms around two women (one of
whom was his wife) with the caption: "You're never too old to be a
pimp." Knievel, not realizing this was a (weak) attempt at
complimenting him, sued ESPN for defamation. A lower court tossed out
the ruling, and he appealed. Now the Appeals Court has ruled against
him as well, noting that, based on the context no one is actually
going to think Knievel is a "pimp," and, in fact that the statement
was supposed to be a positive one, as the slang of the day suggests.
Knievel, apparently lacking a sense of irony over this particular
case, has responded by
calling the judges
"bimbos." The full quote is: "They ruled against the law. What
good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn
bimbos are going to rule against it?" You think he intended that as a
compliment? Anyway, in the meantime, feel free to go on captioning
photos on the web while calling people pimps.

Microsoft Asks Court To Fine Lindows Yet
Again
05/11/2004 04:32 PMOne thing you can definitely say about Michael Robertson is that he
knows how to use controversy and lawsuits to get publicity. After
first
losing
the trademark dispute with Microsoft over the Lindows name in
Benelux, he
changed
the product name to Lin---s. This
didn't
make Microsoft happy, so they
changed
the name again to Linspire. However, it appears Microsoft is
still not satisfied and is
asking the court to fine
them again - which must delight Robertson for the publicity he's
getting. However, when you look at the details, this move by
Microsoft seems particularly petty (though, it must be admitted,
switching the name to Lin---s was fairly petty as well). Here, the
complaint is that in the
copyright notice
on the Linspire page, it still says that Linspire is owned by the
company Lindows. Microsoft is claiming that this will confuse people
- which is a huge stretch. The judge should toss this out.
Meanwhile, Microsoft and Lindows/Linspire should stop wasting time
over things like this and spend their money and effort on things that
actually make their products more useful.

Lindows/Windows Trademark Suit Heads To
Court
11/13/2003 01:37 PMFortune'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.

05/25/2004 11:46 AMMicrosoft's trademark lawsuit against Lindows will continue to trial,
possibly later this year, after a federal appeals court denied
Microsoft's appeal request. Microsoft was questioning an earlier court
decision that found Microsoft's trademark on "Windows" to be
potentially invalid because the word is a common term. Microsoft had
argued that the term wasn't generic in the computer industry, despite
its general use to describe onscreen objects in various graphical
systems dating back almost 30 years. And because Microsoft does own a
trademark on the term, it had sued Lindows for naming its Linux
distribution Lindows, a name that might confuse consumers.
