<<Intuit asked the Superior Court of Santa Clara, CA to seal the file four hours after it filed the suit, according to the court clerk's office.>>

Now that's VERY unusual. In fact, I've never heard of such a thing: putting out a press release about a lawsuit, then asking the court four hours later to keep the actual complaint a secret.

Assuming the news.com reporter actually DID see the complaint -- and assuming he was correctly paraphrasing from it when he said it mentioned Yahoo by name -- we can deduce that CKFR may have asked INTU to seal up the complaint in order to maintain some fig-leaf of confidentiality about the "mystery portal."

Or -- perhaps CKFR raised such a fuss with INTU that top management at INTU realized they had screwed up, and this is a sign that they were pulling in their horns within hours of going public with this thing.

Just guessing -- but either way I think it's a small positive sign that this may get settled sooner rather than later. I sure hope so.
