August 4, 2009: ACT Amicus Brief Filed

The Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) has filed an amicus brief is support of Katzer in our appeal of the January decision.

ACT's motto is "protecting small business innovation". Their online blog had previously commented on the first appeal on their ACT Online blog. They were one of the few commentators that disagreed with the decision.

They're an interesting organization. They apparently were created in response to the anti-trust suit against Microsoft. Despite having a motto of "protecting small business innovation", their positions are often very closely aligned with Microsoft, and against the interoperability considerations that help small companies. It seems that Matt Katzer has interesting friends.
