Chinese Gov't Reveals Microsoft's Secret List of Android-Killer Patents
walterbyrd (182728) writes "A list of hundreds of patents that Microsoft believes entitle it to royalties over Android phones, and perhaps smartphones in general, has been published on a Chinese language website. The patents Microsoft plans to wield against Android describe a range of technologies. They include lots of technologies developed at Microsoft, as well as patents that Microsoft acquired by participating in the Rockstar Consortium, which spent $4.5 billion on patents that were auctioned off after the Nortel bankruptcy."
Maybe Microsoft could increase their marketshare by 50%: And get to 1.5% of the market.
My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.
Well, that's one way to handle repeat articles, delete the original one.
It's almost as if we were talking about the Chinese Government...
Doesn't it warm the free-market cockles of your heart that levels of 'market transparency' in "intellectual property", and the licensing thereof, that a regulatory action taken by commie chinese is the biggest boost it's had in years?
Good work on that free market, guys.
