In the wake of the recent court victory by Lotus over concerning
|
|||
|
|
copyright infringement, Microsoft Inc. announced today that they are
|
|||
|
|
suing Lotus for infringing on their lawsuit copyrights. "We have
|
|||
|
|
examined the text of the Lotus lawsuits and have determined that they
|
|||
|
|
violate our copyright on look-and-feel lawsuits," a spokesman for
|
|||
|
|
Microsoft said. "A lot of effort was spent developing the concept of
|
|||
|
|
look-and-feel lawsuits and Lotus is capitalizing on our work." At the
|
|||
|
|
same time, Microsoft filed for a patent on look-and-feel lawsuits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A federal judge granted a preliminary injuction against Lotus,
|
|||
|
|
preventing them from pursuing further lawsuits on the basis of copyright
|
|||
|
|
infringement until formal briefs could be filed by both sides. Borland
|
|||
|
|
stock jumped 1 5/8 on the news.
