Lindows Trademark Lawsuit.
Lindows was sued my Microsoft Corporation in December of 2001 for the use of the name Lindows using Windows as a sales strategy. Microsoft unhappy because of the amount of time and money spent to successfully market their name that is now known in every home in the United States and many other countries abroad wants to shut down Lindows. In the law suit Lindows fought that since inception of Microsoft Windows 1.0 in 1985; other interfaces had preceded the overlapping window feature making the term "Windows" a generic term. The trial is still ongoing and the outcome still to be seen. Microsoft is pursuing the rights of the noun "Windows" opposed to the adjective "window" or "windowing." Lindows created by combining Linux and Windows assumes the fact that since before Microsoft Windows was released the public used the term windows to name a type of software that allowed overlapping screens. The last ruling was to allow a jury to rule on the issue of genericness to start on April 7, 2003. .
