IBM Sues Amazon For Patent Infringement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-did-it-first dept.

Petersko writes "It appears Amazon is about to be sued for patent infringement by IBM". From the article: "Hundreds of other companies have licensed the same patents, and IBM has tried to negotiate licensing deals with Amazon "over a dozen times since 2002," Kelly said. Amazon.com, which has bought a lot of hardware from Hewlett-Packard Co. over the years but not IBM, has allegedly refused every time."

      CNN text: Amazon.com -- which has bought a lot of hardware from Hewlett-Packard Co. over the years but not IBM -- has allegedly refused every time.

      The text from the article was not copied over correctly or was re-edited badly. Considering what they teach in high schools these days, it's not too surprising.
