微软被一家名不见经传的小公司Gotuit Media告到法院,该公司宣称微软的Silverlight技术在视频标签上盗用了他们的专利.
7月2日这一诉状被递交到旧金山联邦法院,Gotuit提出了多项诉讼主张,并且还聘请了与微软在Burst.com诉讼上交战获胜的Spencer Hosie律师,但该律师拒绝对这一场官司发表看法.
Microsoft plans to use Silverlight to allow visitors to NBCOlympics.com to watch multiple events at the same time, as well as view streaming commentary. Gotuit cited these plans as part of its patent infringement suit.

Gotuit的业务范围包括通过在线视频提供搜索,导航等服务.
