Court: Microsoft Must Pay Law Firm $5.6 Million
,----[ Quote ]
| The bonanza for attorneys opposing
| Microsoft in consumer antitrust litigation
| continues to pay dividends. A Wisconsin
| appeals court this week ordered the
| software firm to pay $5.6 million to a law
| firm that opposed Microsoft in consumer
| antitrust litigation.
|
| The case, and similar cases, filed in
| states across the U.S. involved charges
| that Microsoft had overcharged for
| software purchased by consumers beginning
| in the 1990s.
|
| [...]
|
| In Wisconsin, the settlement called for
| Microsoft to give vouchers for cash after
| the purchase of various software and
| computer hardware products. For instance,
| a $23 voucher was made available for each
| Microsoft Office copy. The Wisconsin
| claims had to be filed by July 2007.
