Robert O’Donoghue KC, counsel to Microsoft, told the CAT in a case management conference today that it does not have jurisdiction to evaluate a key issue in ValueLicensing’s abuse of dominance claim against the tech company, as it does not fall within the specialist court’s remit.

Microsoft, sued by ValueLicensing, told a judge today that the UK competition court doesn’t have jurisdiction to deal with narrowed-matters over the lawsuit because they concern copyright law.
