Microsoft may be forced to delay the introduction of its Xbox game console because of a trademark dispute over the Xbox brand with a small Florida company, according to published reports. Xbox Technologies, a holding company of software businesses, may take Microsoft to court because it said it had the first claim on the Xbox brand, the Financial Times reported on its FT.com Web site. Xbox Technologies, based in Coconut Grove, Fla., filed the first of 47 current applications for the Xbox brand with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in March 1999, FT.com said. | ||

| This is interesting. Since Xbox technologies filed their trademark application several months earlier than Microsoft, Microsoft is in a bad position. I bet MS will have to pay a hefty sum on this. Any legal buffs out there? |

| I doubt it'll be too long before it's resolved by $$$$$ |

| Yes, if Microsoft doesn't truly have the trademark they'll just buy the rights. |

| I would bet that if Xbox Tech doesn't sell the rights to use the name, MS will just buy Xbox Technologies. Pretty simple |
