Judge Set to Rule on Windows Trademark Validity | |
|
||
| Time: 15:39 EST/20:39 GMT | News Source: CBS Marketwatch | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Lindows.com, Inc. announced today that it has submitted its final legal papers in support of its pending Motion for Summary Judgment on Genericness, challenging the validity of Microsoft's (MSFT) trademark. Now that both Lindows.com, Inc. and the Microsoft Corporation have completed their filings, the United States District Court in Seattle can address whether "windows" is a valid trademark. The case began last December when Microsoft filed a trademark infringement suit and asked the Court to block Lindows.com from using its company name, Lindows.com, Inc. and its product name, LindowsOS. Two successive rulings denied Microsoft's requests for an injunction, and raised serious questions about whether the term "windows" is protectable. Now, nearly a year later, Lindows.com is in front of the same Judge, the Honorable John C. Coughenour, asking him to determine whether the "windows" trademark is, in fact, legally valid, or a generic computing term and therefore not eligible for trademark protection. | ||
