Microsoft keeps Windows rights, for now | |
|
||
| Time: 17:59 EST/22:59 GMT | News Source: Boston Globe | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Microsoft Corp. will be able to keep its hold on the trademark rights for its Windows software for the next several months, but those rights appear to be in some jeopardy in a federal court case in Seattle. In a ruling last week that was made public over the weekend, US District Judge John C. Coughenor of Seattle turned down a formal request by a Microsoft rival, Lindows.com Inc., to wipe out the trademark on Windows, which Microsoft has had for nearly eight years. It has become one of the world's best-known trademarks, and Microsoft regards it as highly valuable, having spent more than $1.2 billion to promote that identity. | ||

| Granted that Windows is the name of a product while Apple and Sun are company names. But shouldn't they be worried about MS loosing? |

Lindows will soon see the writing on the wall and voluntarily change their name... which might have been their plan all along anyway.

| Motz reminds me of that company exec that we all have run into before. You know the one... he/she actually upgraded their mac from v8 to v9 and deep down they actually BELIEVE they have a aptitude for technical things. |
