BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Several allies of Microsoft have lost a bid to
intervene in the software giant's antitrust case before a European
Union court, which dismissed them as "mere think tanks", court
documents showed on Friday.

The International Intellectual Property Institute, the Institute for
Policy Innovation and the Progress & Freedom Foundation "are not
active in any of the markets concerned ... nor do they carry out
commercial activities," the court said.

Is this an example of corporate-judicial trolling?
