Gov't grants Microsoft's request for imports probe
,----[ Quote ]
| Horacio Gutierrez, a Microsoft vice president, said the company filed its
| request with the ITC last month after trying unsuccessfully for several years
| to reach a patent licensing agreement with Primax.
|
| The ITC performs economic research on trade agreements and investigates
| unfair trade practices. The agency has the authority to bar imports that
| infringe U.S. patents and trademarks.

And yet, Microsoft pretends that it's just a victim of the system.

SCO vs. Linux – mixed reactions to Novell Unix copyright verdict
,----[ Quote ]
| From hackers to financial analysts, the question of what happens next is
| occupying the minds of many in the IT industry – not all of them as
| well-informed as Pamela Jones, the good fairy behind Groklaw, a website which
| follows such cases. She has told Infoworld that Microsoft will be the next
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| SCO Group; the company has been loudly rattling its patent sabres, claiming
| ^^^^^^^^^
| earlier this year that Linux violated mote than 235 Microsoft patents.
| Whether Microsoft goes beyond mere sabre rattling and whether SCO manages
| anything more than a last gasp is also a question of how you evaluate the
| course of court proceedings so far.
