DAK Indus., Inc. 66 F.3d 1091 (9th Cir 1995) is a court case in which Microsoft contended that in being licensed the rights to sell Microsoft Word (Word) software units, the then bankrupt DAK Industries had been granted permission to use this Intellectual Property, so Microsoft was entitled to receive payments during post-bankruptcy in the form of royalties for DAK's use of the license agreement. The Ninth Circuit disagreed, believing that the 'economic realities' of the agreement in which payments for a certain number of copies of Word were made in the form of installments meant that the agreement should be considered as a 'lump sum sale of software units' even if the agreement was called a license that required 'royalties' instead of 'payments'. Microsoft was therefore unable to claim special interest over the bankruptcy claim as it was a transfer of goods in the form of a sale, making it an unsecured creditor."@en }
