I think I need to open a company and name it Mickeypoft and re-sell a customized Linux build under the same name. I wonder if Microsoft will pay us 20 million for the name. I am simply amazed that they would do this but it is a major win for Linspire formerly Lindows. I always like to see the underdog to make out. [Techdirt]

Microsoft Now Owns Lindows


Microsoft Now Owns Lindows 07/19/2004 01:16 PM
Well after a lengthy an often childis h (on both sides) battle over the name Lindows, Microsoft has finally realized that every time they try to beat Michael Robertson in court, they're just giving him more free publicity. This is, of course, exactly what he wanted. So, to just settle the damn thing once and for all, Microsoft has bought out the Lindows name for $20 million. Of course, this works out great for Lindows... er... Linspire, as well. They basically get a $20 million investment with no dilution or strings attached -- plus a bit more publicity due to this deal.

Lindows and Microsoft go to trial 05/26/2004 10:48 AM
What's in a name? Well, if you're Microsoft that's exactly the question you want answered by a jury in reference to the term "windows." The question is central to Microsoft's argument that the name "Lindows" is too much like Windows, the Microsoft operating system. The only problem is that Microsoft wants the jury to decide if "windows" is a generic term today, not before the Windows operating system was released in November 1985. Unfortunately for Microsoft, District Court Judge Coughenour chose the latter in a ruling on February 10th.

Lindows has won a major decision in the battle for the company to keep it's name and fight of Microsoft and fight of their claim that Lindows infringes on their monopoly of the term Windows. Attorney Michael Graham stated:

"This ruling is vital to Lindows'/Linspire's case because if a term is generic, or once it becomes generic, trademark law holds that no amount of advertising or
exclusivity of use can make that term a protectable trademark," It will be interesting to see hoe this case turns out. [eWeek]
