Microsoft weighs in on Oracle, DOJ case
C|Net | at | by Mike
In its U.S. District Court of Northern California filings, Microsoft seeks to gain additional protection for "highly sensitive" business documents and information that it submitted to the Department of Justice and to outside attorneys for Oracle.
The company is seeking to prevent Oracle's in-house attorneys from reviewing the most highly confidential material of the information it has provided. It also wants to control access for outside experts and others to confidential material.
To do this, Microsoft has asked the court to put more restrictions on a protective order. The order as it stands allows Oracle's outside counsel and two of its in-house attorneys, and their staffs, to have access to all documents in the case.
