Dispute may force Microsoft to delay Xbox launch By Andrew Heavens Published: February 4 2001 15:55GMT \| Last Updated: February 4 2001 16:54GMT news.ft.com Microsoft could be forced to delay the launch of its long-awaited Xbox games console because of a trademark dispute with a small Florida-based company. The leading software group is gearing up to launch the Xbox into a crowded market this autumn with a $500m publicity campaign. But Xbox Technologies, a holding company with a stable of software businesses, insists it has first claim on the Xbox brand and says it is prepared to go to court to protect its trademark. Any hold-up in the launch would be a huge embarrassment for Microsoft. The company has already recruited more than 150 developers to produce games for the Xbox - its first major hardware product which will compete with Sony's Playstation 2.
