Judge rejects another Microsoft appeal against surplus license reseller suit
asked the company what it made of the rejection of its leave to appeal. We will update this piece should Microsoft respond.
Jonathan Horley, founder and Managing Director of ValueLicensing, said in a statement:"We are pleased that the High Court and the Court of Appeal have both dismissed Microsoft's meritless delaying tactics and look forward to moving into the substantive phase of the case. "Microsoft's abuse of its dominant market position effectively destroyed the pre-owned software market for desktop products. Microsoft's removal of these products from the market has deprived UK and European customers including public sector organisations, such as NHS Trusts and local councils, of the opportunity to buy perpetual licences at lower prices.
"This dispute about the court's jurisdiction has nothing to do with the substance of the case. ValueLicensing's core complaint is that we gave customers the option to apply the value of their licenses for older products to new cloud subscriptions rather than selling them to third parties. We believe that was both legal and the right thing to do. Helping our customers move to the cloud improves productivity and security.
