The Novell v. Microsoft Antitrust Trial Transcripts ~pj - Updated
Sunday, May 27 2012 @ 04:14 PM EDT

I have a treat for you, or part one of a treat. I have the first 32 transcripts from the Novell v. Microsoft antitrust trial over WordPerfect.

As you know, the judge has before him a renewed motion by Microsoft asking him to rule on Microsoft's behalf as a matter of law, so as to bypass a second trial. Of course, Novell opposes, with multiple exhibits, and here's Microsoft's reply to Novell's filing. There will be a hearing on this motion on June 22nd in US District Court in Baltimore, MD. I know. But if you live anywhere near there, can you please make plans to attend?

Here's the docket entry about it:

05/09/2012 - 505 - A hearing on Microsoft's Renewed Motion For Judgment As A Matter Of Law will be held at 10 am on June 22, 2012 in courtroom 5A, USDC, 101 West Lombard St., Baltimore, MD. Signed by Judge J. Frederick Motz on 5/9/12. (JFM) (Entered: 05/09/2012)

To get you started, here are the opening days of the trial. It began on a Monday, and I've grouped them by week:

  • 424 - OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT of Jury Trial PGS 1345-1406 held on November 9, 2011 before Judge J. FREDERICK MOTZ.

  • 429 - OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT of Jury Trial PGS 1639-1672 held on November 10, 2011 before Judge J. FREDERICK MOTZ.

This is just the first part, covering the first three weeks of the trial. The transcripts go through docket #488, and through December 16, 2011. I confess that media reports made it sound like the judge bent over backwards to favor Microsoft, and I'm looking forward to reading the transcripts to see if that impression is accurate or not.

But I'm so exhausted by the Oracle v. Google trial, I need to rest up a bit. In fact, I've been sleeping like a teenager ever since the verdict came in. Now I'm en route to a beach until Tuesday afternoon, so I'm not likely to be posting any more transcripts until Wednesday.

Update: Here are all the rest, including the November 18th transcripts, the day we had a reporter there who was surprised at the judge's behavior toward Novell:

Some of them are out of order numerically. And there is no 485. I don't know why, but one of them has two numbers, because it was restricted, then redacted. Enjoy!

Please stay off topic in these threads. Fancy formatting and clicky links in
HTML Formatted Mode are fine as long as they are off topic.

And MicroSoft wants a summary judgment in their favor...
Authored by: mtew on Sunday, May 27 2012 @ 08:29 PM EDT
IIRC They came one juror short of losing... Which shows they have just as much
gall as the people at GS...

You deserve a lot more than a few days at the beach. Thank you for all you have
put into Groklaw. Now take it easy and keep sleeping in as long as you can.

pdftotext is your friend
Authored by: NobodyYouKnow on Sunday, May 27 2012 @ 09:59 PM EDT
pdftotext works well on #397. I'd bet it will work equally well on all of them.


In the pdftotext output the line numbers are on separate lines, and line numbers
and text lines are separated by blank lines, but you can pipe the text file
through

grep -v '^$' | grep '[^0-9]'

and get nothing but the raw text.

Sometimes the order of lines within a paragraph is mangled though, but that's
easy enough clean up with your favorite text editor - much easier than doing a
transcript from scratch.

The One We Want...
Authored by: sproggit on Monday, May 28 2012 @ 08:30 AM EDT
... is November 18th.

That's the day that our court reporter, cpeterson, reckoned that Judge Motz had
been shouting at and arguing with Counsel for Novell...
