Valuelicensing asks court to strike out parts of Microsoft defence in the UK claim
ValueLicensing has issued an application for summary judgment against Microsoft in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in its ongoing claims for abuse of dominance and anticompetitive agreements.

Microsoft’s Amended Defence, specifically two of its alternative defenses and its purported reservation of
