>From edupage: > > MICROSOFT TO PAY $5-MILLION FOR INTERNET EXPLORER NAME > Microsoft has agreed to pay a small Chicago-area software company $5 million > for use of the "Internet Explorer" name. SyNet Inc., which is undergoing > bankruptcy reorganization, owned the trademark on the name Microsoft was > using for its popular Web browser. Microsoft had argued that SyNet did not > deserve the trademark because it wasn't the first to use it, and because the > words "Internet Explorer" are merely descriptive. "We are confident we > would have won this case on the merits but we are pleased to put this issue > behind us," says Microsoft in a statement.
