Microsoft Heads to Trial in Minnesota







Microsoft Heads to Trial in Minnesota

Microsoft Heads to Trial in Minnesota 03/08/2004 11:21 PM

Microsoft is preparing to go to court in Minnesota this week to fight allegations that it abused its Windows monopoly to overcharge customers in the state for its software. As part of its defense, Microsoft may call Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer to testify, the company says. Unless a last minute settlement is reached between the software vendor and lawyers representing Minnesota consumers, opening arguments in the case are scheduled to begin mid-week, Microsoft spokesperson Jim Desler says. The court has allotted three months for the trial, he says.

Microsoft'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.
