It's always a good thing any time two large companies can settle their software patent differences outside of court. Open source, propelled by IBM, is putting pressure on both companies. I wonder if this settlement will cut off SCO's oxygen...

Microsoft settle with Sendo

Microsoft settle with Sendo 09/14/2004 07:32 AM
Mobile device maker, Sendo, have agreed an out of court settlement with industry giant, Microsoft. The specifics of the agreement have not been disclosed, yet is purported to be around the hundreds of millions mark. Sendo are "extremely pleased with the terms".

The dispute arose over a partnership between the two companies. Sendo helped Microsoft into the mobile phone market, where it lacked expertise. After developing software with Sendo, supposedly Microsoft illegally gave information learned from Sendo to low cost OEM's in Asia. The two companies broke up 2 weeks before product launch, and Sendo sued Microsoft soon after.

Microsoft have long accepted lawsuits as part of its business model, and the payout might register as a blip on this years profit levels. Sendo intend to move onto to new products and technologies, and undoubtedly now have a good financial base to do this.

Lawyers Who Got Microsoft To Settle Want
$258 Million In Fees

Lawyers Who Got Microsoft To Settle Want
$258 Million In Fees 05/12/2004 02:08 PM
There are plenty of stories about class action cases where it's the lawyers who walk off with the real prize, where those involved in the case get pennies for the dollars they lost. Now, the California lawyers who convinced Microsoft to settle their anti-trust suit say they deserve $258 million in fees - approximately 25% of the entire settlement. When broken out into pieces, it means $3,000 per hour for the lead attorney, $2,000 per hour for 34 other lawyers and an impressive $1,000 per hour for administrative work. Microsoft, of course, claims the fees seem a bit high - but you could make the same argument about some of their software. Meanwhile, Microsoft may get off without paying the $16 or so they owe you for overcharging on Windows if you don't fill out the claim form. Yes, that $16 they overcharged you for Windows represents just under one minute of administrative work done on this case.
