Partner Jeffrey Johnson Quoted in E-Commerce Times About Microsoft's Vista Problem
Pryor Cashman partner Jeffrey Johnson, who is experiencd in the transactional aspects of technology and intellectual property exploitation, was quoted extensively in a June 21, 2007 article in E-Commerce Times entitled “The Vista Problem: Can Microsoft Fend Off Another Legal Onslaught?” The article by Erika Morphy concerns the complaints which Google had made against Microsoft’s latest operating system, Vista, and Microsoft’s announcement that it would make changes to the system to satisfy Google’s concerns.
Johnson was asked whether those changes would be enough to forestall additional investigation into Microsoft’s practices. In the article, Johnson discusses the factors that state, U.S. and European agencies responsible for enforcing anticompetition laws will consider when deciding whether to initiate new investigations or continue ongoing investigations now that Microsoft has announced plans to change Vista.
