>Q.: Does Microsoft have intellectual property over the interface

>A.: The Commission is not seeking disclosure of Microsoft's source code
>.
>The Commission does not exclude that the information that the Decision
>obliges Microsoft to disclose might be protected by intellectual
>property rights in the EU. To the extent that it is, the Decision finds
>that in line with the relevant jurisprudence, the exceptional
>circumstances of the case (Microsoft's overwhelming dominance,
>indispensability of the interface information, risk of elimination of
>competition in the market) would mandate such disclosure.

>Q.: How will the Commission ensure that Microsoft does not exclude
>competitors from the market by setting very high royalties for the
>information in question?
>
>A.: To the extent that any of the information in question is protected
>by intellectual property rights in the EEA, Microsoft is entitled to
>reasonable remuneration. It will be the role of the Monitoring Trustee,
>under the authority of the Commission, to ensure that Microsoft does
>not
>charge too high a price for the information.
