The Shoe’s On The Other Foot Now

February 26th, 2009

It sure is a different story when the shoe is on the other foot, isn’t it?

Microsoft on Wednesday said it is steering Netherlands-based vehicle navigation systems firm TomTom to court for infringing on the software giant’s patented technology.

Microsoft filed complaints against TomTom in US district court and with the International Trade Commission, according to Horacio Gutierrez, deputy general counsel of intellectual property and licensing at Microsoft.

…

Patents involved in the case relate to vehicle navigation technology and computer software that Microsoft has licensed to other firms, according to Gutierrez.

If Microsoft made furniture, we’d all have wobbly tables and couches with springs popping everyday.
