Microsoft Sues PC Company for Copyright Infringement

The Beijing Times, 6/17/09

After purchasing 12 computers pre-loaded with pirated Microsoft software, Microsoft sued Beijing Strongwell Technology & Development Co., a custom PC maker based in the Zhongguancun area of Beijing, seeking RMB 500,000 in damages. The Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court began hearing the case in open court yesterday.

Microsoft says that in October and November of last year, it hired an IPR agency to visit Strongwell sales outlets to purchase a total of 12 computers in the presence of a notary public. It was determined that the installations of Windows XP and Office 2003 on these computers were pirated copies of the software.
