Dell Computer Accused of Copyright Infringement by Publisher San Diego, June 21 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp., the biggest direct seller of personal computers, has been accused of copyright infringement by a California publisher of employee training manuals. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego Thursday, Blanchard Training & Development Inc. said Dell bought Blanchard's materials for about two years beginning in 1991. Even though Dell stopped buying workbooks and other materials from Blanchard in April 1993, it continued to teach two leadership classes for employees based on Blanchard's materials at least through March, the lawsuit claims. Officials for Dell and Blanchard, as well as Blanchard's attorneys, weren't immediately available for comment. Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, developed its own workbooks and teaching materials for the leadership classes, offered to managers and non-managers, the lawsuit said. Those workbooks infringed on Blanchard's copyright, the firm claimed. Blanchard is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. It is asking a judge to issue an injunction preventing Dell from producing or distributing the training materials. Dell has about 24,400 employees worldwide.
