Software company Business Objects said on Friday that an American federal appeals court has ordered a trial in a patent infringement lawsuit that the company filed against competitor MicroStrategy.
Business Objects, which makes data analysis software, filed the suit in 2001, claiming MicroStrategy copied technology related to a concept called "semantically dynamic objects" that Business Objects had earned a patent on. A court dismissed the suit in 2003, but on Friday an appeals court overturned that decision and said the case should go to trial, according to Business Objects. A MicroStrategy representative was not immediately available for comment.
