Thomson-Reuters Sues George Mason Over Zotero
In the category of "No good deed goes unpunished," seems that a product review by one of our own is mentioned today in the Legal Blog Watch.
Thomson is claiming that GMU's Zotero is a violation of Thomson's IP rights with EndNote and Thomson is "seeking an injunction against Zotero's distribution and $10 million in damages."
It looks like GMU is going to fight back against Thomson on this one. I wish them luck! And hope they prevail.

My friend Mike Madison, who teaches IP law here at Pitt, blogged about the case Sunday . I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Zotero has added Bluebook as one of their citation styles, and Westlaw just came out with a Bluebooking product? I also noticed that one of the databases that Zotero works with is LexisNexis.
