Android Patent Infringement: Licensing is the Solution — Microsoft

jeremiahlee:

The absurdity of these patents exemplifies why we need patent reform. Displaying a web page’s text content before the background image has loaded? A file download’s progress bar? Document annotations saved separately from a document? There is no innovation here. This is just Microsoft acting in an anticompetitive manner because it can’t compete by being genuinely innovative.

“Your potential. Microsoft’s passion… for licensing/suing you for infringement of idiotic patents on the obvious.”
