The biggest allegation from EU is IBM has illegally tied its mainframe hardware to its mainframe operating system.

In addition IBM is accused of not allowing customers to run IBM’s mainframe operating systems on anything other than IBM mainframe hardware.

Texas-based Neon, French company, TurboHercules,and T3 Technologies are some of the companies that have filed formal complaints.

IBM said it plans to cooperate with EU on these investigations, but denied there was any merit in the accusations. “IBM is fully entitled to enforce its intellectual property rights and protect the investments we have made in our technologies,” the Florida headquartered IBM said.
