Savvysoft TurboExcel Rebranded Calc4Web Ending Microsoft Trademark Dispute



    Savvysoft and Microsoft jointly announced today that they have
    reached an amicable resolution of their dispute over the name of
    Savvysoft's TurboExcel product.

    Under the agreement, Savvysoft will change the name of the
    TurboExcel product to Calc4Web. Savvysoft's Calc4Web product will be
    co-marketed on Microsoft's Office Marketplace website and at industry
    conferences.

    Under the terms of the agreement, which is confidential, neither
    company admits liability.

    "Resolving this dispute is in the best interest of our customers,"
    said Rich Tanenbaum, President and founder of Savvysoft. "Much more
    can be gained by everyone if Savvysoft and Microsoft enjoy a mutually
    beneficial relationship."

    A Microsoft official said the company is pleased to resolve the
    matter, noting that the agreement protects Microsoft's intellectual
    property rights associated with the name of its trademarked Excel
    spreadsheet software, while ensuring that Savvysoft can continue to
    innovate.
