VeriSign’s Antitrust Claims Are Dismissed
From Reuters
A federal judge in Los Angeles has thrown out VeriSign Inc.’s antitrust claims against an Internet regulatory body, saying rivals did not unfairly influence a decision to block a controversial VeriSign search service.
Although rivals certainly have a voice in the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, they bear no outsize influence in the international body’s affairs, U.S. District Court Judge Howard Matz said.
Mountain View, Calif.-based VeriSign said it would refile the lawsuit in a California state court.
