Microsoft mulls protective order against Oracle
eWeek | at | by Mike
It is likely Microsoft will file a protective order to stop Oracle Corp. from viewing sensitive information, according to a Microsoft executive.
Last week Microsoft, along with software developers SAP AG, Lawson Software Inc. and QAD Inc., appealed to the U.S. District Court of California to restrict Oracle's in-house attorneys from having access to their sensitive documents, for fear that competitive information would be leaked internally. The U.S. Department of Defense and Fidelity Employer Services made similar requests.
