Microsoft wants trial location moved
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
Microsoft is asking a judge to move the antitrust suit filed against it by RealNetworks to federal court in Seattle, alleging that RealNetworks chose San Jose, Calif., as the venue because it believed it would get a more favorable jury there.
"Many of Microsoft's fiercest competitors are based in Silicon Valley," Microsoft said in a court filing. "For this reason, RealNetworks likely perceives the jury pool in this district to be the most hostile to Microsoft of any jury pool in the country."
