Microsoft vs. RealNetworks case stays in San Jose

A federal judge in San Jose, Calif., has denied Microsoft's request to have an antitrust case against it moved to a federal court in Washington. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., had argued that the case filed by Seattle rival RealNetworks should be moved to Washington state because both companies are based there.
But U.S. District Judge James Ware said in a filing Thursday that it was appropriate to keep the case in California, in part because many big players in the digital media industry are located there.
