DOJ oppose group intervention in Microsoft case

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Microsoft Monday filed their opposition to an attempt by trade groups to intervene in the government's antitrust case against the software juggernaut, claiming that the groups fall short of the minimum requirements for intervention. The filings, submitted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, come in response to a motion issued by the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) last month, seeking to intervene in the historic case. The settlement of the antitrust case reached by Microsoft, the DOJ, and nine of the suing states was approved in November by U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
