eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week won an injunction from a Swedish court in its ongoing international trademark battle with Lindows.com Inc. According to a ruling in the Stockholm City Court on Wednesday, Lindows.com must stop selling its products in Sweden that use the terms which Microsoft is alleging violates its Windows trademarks, pending the outcome of the infringement case. These terms include Lindows, Lindows.com and LindowsOS. The cost could be steep for the San Diego, Calif.-based Lindows.comit faces a penalty of 3 million Swedish Krona, or about $409,000, if it violates the injunction.
