InterTrust Technologies Expands Patent Lawsuit Against Microsoft By a WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter InterTrust Technologies Corp. said it is again expanding its patent litigation against Microsoft Corp., adding allegations that the Redmond, Wash., software company infringed a patent associated with protecting copyrights on distributing books in electronic form. InterTrust, a small software company in Sunnyvale, Calif., has been working on copyright-protection technology for more than a decade. It sued Microsoft in April for allegedly violating an InterTrust patent with a technology known as Windows Media. The suit was amended in June to allege that Microsoft violated a patent on distributing protected digital files between computers. The company said it will add charges that Microsoft violated another patent with products called Microsoft Reader and Digital Asset Server. Microsoft hasn't formally responded to the suit, filed in federal court in San Jose, Calif. A Microsoft spokesman said the company hasn't reviewed the latest allegation, but said the company respects intellectual property rights. He characterized InterTrust's action as "appearing to be desperate."
