Court Dismisses All Sony Copyright and Trademark Claims in Connectix Case

From Nancy Smith, "A San Francisco Federal Court [yester]day dismissed all Sony copyright and trademark claims against Connectix Corporation for its Connectix Virtual Game Station software. The decision resolves seven of Sony's nine claims in favor of Connectix, eliminating the need to bring these to trial. Connectix Virtual Game Station is the award-winning software that enables many popular PlayStation games to run on Pentium II or III PCs and G3 or G4 Macintosh computers including iBook and iMac. Detailed product information is available at Connectix's web site." More arguments will be heard over 90 days on the remaining two claims, trade secret and unfair competition.
