: Breaking Legal NewsMicrosoft Says Salesforce.com Infringes Patents
By (Breaking Legal News)
Microsoft Corp. sued Salesforce.com Inc. yesterday, accusing the company of infringing nine patents for ways to make software more efficient.
The complaint targets the customer-relationship management software that is the hallmark of Salesforce.com?s business. It seeks a court order that would prevent the San Francisco-based company from providing features that Microsoft claims it invented.
Salesforce.com, founded in 1999, sells subscriptions to Internet business software that runs marketing campaigns and tracks sales leads. It competes against Microsoft?s Dynamics programs and ?has profited through infringement of the Microsoft patents-in-suit,? according to the complaint, filed in federal court in Seattle.
?More and more, we?re seeing Dynamics compete with Salesforce in deals,? said Ray Wang, an analyst with Altimeter Group in San Mateo, California. ?Long term, Salesforce and Microsoft are on a collision course for all enterprise software.?
