Microsoft Corp. scored the latest victory in its legal feud with Apple over disputed QuickTime code. U.S. District Judge Robert Aguilar on March 30 denied Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction blocking Microsoft's shipment of Video for Windows 1.1d; Apple claimed in a copyright-infringement suit in February that code from its QuickTime technology ended up in Video for Windows. Microsoft has since stopped shipping 1.1d and introduced a new version, 1.1e, which does not contain any of the code in question. Despite the ruling, Microsoft is requesting developers switch to 1.1e for new applications.
Call it March Merger Madness: After the last deal was done, four companies had been absorbed in a series of stock swaps and cash transactions. The most recent, Avid Technology Inc.'s proposed $45 million buyout of London-based The Parallax Software Group and Elastic Reality Inc. of Madison, Wis., was also the largest. Parallax is a maker of paint and compositing technology; Elastic Reality develops special-effects software, including morphing and film restoration tools.
Earlier in March, NetWorth Inc. agreed to purchase Network Resources Corp. for more than $5 million in stock and cash. NetWorth of Irving, Texas, said it plans to plug San Jose, Calif.-based NRC's Ethernet switches, hubs and routers into its lineup of internetworking products.
