re: #222 KGxvi

In US v Microsoft, the earliest events (including a settlement with the feds) started in like 1993/94. The law suit wasn’t filed until mid-1998, the DC Circuit Court of Appeal didn’t get the case until 2001.

Don’t forget the granddaddy of the tech anti-trust lawsuits, IBM vs. The Entire Universe. It is said that greenhorn lawyers fresh from law school joined law firms, started working on the IBM defence team and later retired having worked on no other case in their entire careers.
