Microsoft Sues Salesforce.com Over Patents

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday May 18, 2010 @03:28PM from the few-selected-gems-from-the-collection dept.

WrongSizeGlass writes "CNET is reporting that Microsoft is suing Salesforce.com in Seattle federal court, claiming it infringes on nine patents. Two of the patents in question are a 'system and method for providing and displaying a Web page having an embedded menu' and a 'method and system for stacking toolbars in a computer display.'" Microsoft says it first notified Salesforce more than a year ago about the alleged infringement.

On slashdot if it's x versus Microsoft you root for x, in the same way that if it's y versus Apple you root for Apple.
