T3, a maker of IBM-compatible mainframes lodges (not Terminator 3), lodged a complaint with the European antitrust regulators against IBM. The complaint carries the allegation that IBM is blocking competition by offering its operating system along with its mainframe hardware.
IBM released a statement which said:
IBM has not seen T3′s alleged EU complaint. Nonetheless, IBM is confident that it is no violation of competition laws for IBM to rightfully seek to prevent another company from violating IBM’s intellectual property rights. IBM has spent great time and expense developing its technology and will defend its intellectual property rights vigorously.
