Garage Number Nine on Freedom Avenue, on Tommy's desk, lay the complaint silently sent from Lotus Corporation to Actor Corporation.
It stated that they had formally submitted a complaint to the Massachusetts court regarding computer software infringement by Actor Corporation. The court had accepted the case and issued a subpoena.
Receiving this complaint with an enclosed subpoena meant that Actor Corporation had to respond within a thirty-day period. If the court did not receive a response from Actor Corporation within thirty days, it had the right to rule in absentia.
"You didn't take it this seriously when Lotus Corporation first sent us the lawyer's letter," said Holly, carrying two cups of coffee over and placing one in front of Tommy.
