A federal court in Seattle has ordered Microsoft Corp. to release thousands of documents to San Diego-based Lindows.com, as the Redmond company presses its claims that Lindows' name infringes on Microsoft's Windows trademark.
In addition, the court postponed the start of the trial from April 7 to Dec. 1.
The order, issued last week, requires Microsoft to release documents including testimony and transcripts from an unsuccessful lawsuit filed by Apple Computer in 1988 against Microsoft alleging copyright violations for using icons, windows and other graphical elements in its operating system.
Some of the documents covered by the order were not previously made public.
