Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corp.
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
925 F.2d 670 (1991)
Relevant factsFree
Unisys (defendant) purchased computer software from Advent (plaintiff) and later sued Advent for breach of contract. A key question was whether the UCC's statute-of-frauds provision even applied, which depended on whether software counted as a "good." The district court held it did not, so the UCC didn't govern the transaction; both sides appealed.
IssueFree
Whether computer software is a "good" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.
