From Times Staff and Wire reports
PC Accessory Firm Settles Microsoft Suit: Z-Nix Co., the small Pomona personal computer accessory maker that last week sued PC software giant Microsoft for restraint of trade and breach of contract, said that the two companies have resolved the dispute that led to the lawsuit. Under terms of the settlement, Microsoft has agreed to issue a license to Z-Nix to use Microsoft’s popular Windows software through the end of 1991. The two companies said they would negotiate a renewal when the first license expires. Both companies said they were pleased by the terms of the settlement, but neither would reveal its details. Z-Nix, which makes computer point-and-click devices known as mice, sued Microsoft last Wednesday for at least $4.5 million.
