Redmond WA (AP)
Microsoft (MSFT) has announced a $54 million lawsuit against
Tomagotchi maker, Bandai. Microsoft is claiming that the
Tomagotchi, the Japanese electronic pet that's all the rage
with the kids, is an infringment of its intellectual property.
"Software that needs constant, even hourly attention, or else
it dies? Sounds like Windows to me", stated MSFT spokesman
Eric Longford. "This is clearly an infringment on our technology."
Bandai refused to comment on the suit.
