Novell, Inc. v. Reimerdes (E.D.N.Y. 1993) was a federal civil action, "inter alia", under the Copyright and Trademark Laws of the United States. An injunction was ordered against the distribution of Novell NetWare, a LAN operating system software or NOS, a software package that allowed early PCs to network. The Plaintiff, sought a claim against Defendants for injunctive and monetary relief pursuant to 17 U.S.C §§ 502 through 505. ==Details== The plaintiff, Novell, Inc., a multinational software and services company headquartered in Provo, Utah, successfully sought an temporary restraining order (''ex parte'') against the defendants claiming that they operated a pirate bulletin board system (BBS) that distributed copyrighted computer software programs over telephone wires outfitted with modems. Initially, it was assumed that defendant, Carl Reimerdes was the primary infringer, with initial attempts around September 27th 1993 to serve him a summons failed. It was later determined that his son, Shawn Reimerdes, was indeed the system operator (SysOp) of the Harmony Skates Bulletin board system, and that Carl Reimerdes had no knowledge of how to operate a computer less a pirate bulletin board system. Shawn Reimerdes was later amended to the complaint and was served a summons while exiting his high school in Queens, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novell, Inc. v.
