  Little Guy Takes On Software Giant

Entrepreneur Ken Bellanger is certain he has a strong case against Microsoft for trademark infringement, but a conventional lawsuit would never stand a chance against the software giant's cache of high-paid lawyers. So Bellanger is taking his beef to a place made for little guys — small claims court. Claiming that Microsoft Corp. illegally latched on to the name ``Pocket PC'' for its handheld computer operating system, Bellanger paid $20 last week to file a small claims complaint against the Redmond, Wash.-based company.

The dispute is scheduled to be heard Feb. 22 before a small claims commissioner in San Francisco. With the case, Bellanger hopes to win the maximum $5,000 award allowed in California's small claims courts and establish his legal right to the Web address pocketpc.com, a site that Microsoft launched two years ago.
