March 2, 2009: We Answer Katzer's Counter-claim

On February 11, Katzer filed a counter-claim for $6 million because the JMRI decoder definition files infringe "his" copyright in a manual originally written for QSI to describe QSI's decoder.

The next step was for us to file an Answer to that claim, laying out our "defenses", which are the reasons we think that counter-claim isn't legitimate. We've done that today.

With this, and after only three years, the initial part of the case now comes to a close. Both sides have laid out the basic structure of their case. Now we move to the 2nd part, where after some scheduling activities, the "discovery" phase begins. We'll provide more information as we get there.
