Microsoft Sues European Commission over IP Secrets

Reuters reports:

Microsoft has filed a new lawsuit against the European Commission, the latest move in its long-running battle against antitrust sanctions imposed by the Commission for abuse of its dominant Windows software.

The lawsuit before the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg is to clear up whether some Microsoft software protocols -- or computer rules of the road -- should be made public or be kept secret as intellectual property.
