Speculation Re Eolas v. Microsoft Settlement

Posted in Legal News

Eolas Techs. Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 99 C 626 (N.D. Ill.) (Pallmeyer, J.).

Speculation regarding Judge Pallmeyer’s delay of the Eolas v. Microsoft trial is starting in the MSM and on the internet.  The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Internetnews.com both have pieces reporting that Eolas and Microsoft are working toward settlement.  Both stories quote a Microsoft spokesperson as saying, "[Microsoft is] in active discussions with Eolas Technologies regarding a possible settlement ."

As I said in my previous posts, I will not comment on any news from this case because of my family’s connection to it, but feel free to discuss the case in the comments.
