Iowa Lawsuit Settled By Microsoft
Microsoft Corp. has decided to settle a class action lawsuit that could see many people in the Iowa area sharing a payout of one hundred and eighty million dollars. The class action lawsuit that was filed against the corporate giant stated that Microsoft had such a monolopy in the area that it cost consumers millions of extra dollars for software products.The settlement was for just under one hundred and eighty million dollars and many people in the area that purchased specified Microsoft products between the years of 1994 and 2006 may be eligible to receive money back. Vouchers may also be issued to companies with multiple copies, which will allow them to purchase software and equipment. Payouts from the settlement figure will be determined by the type and number of Microsoft products purchased.
Although no proof of purchase will be required for mail claims of up to two hundred dollars or online claims of up to one hundred dollars, claimants will have to sign a legal document verifying that their claim is not falsified, which could lead to a charge of perjury if they are found to be lying.
The lawsuit against Microsoft was actually filed in 2000, and had to go to the Supreme Court in Iowa a number of times for various issues. The lawsuit was originally filed by Attorneys Roxanne Conlin, of Des Moines, and Rich Hagstrom of Zelle, Hofmann, Voelbel, Mason & Gette LLP of Minneapolis.
