Google On The Nortel Loss, Patents As Government-Granted Monopolies, And Plates Of Spaghetti
Back in early April,Kent Walker, Google's Senior Vice President & General Counsel, wrote a post on the Google blog titled "Patents and innovation". The reason behind the post was clear: Google was feeling the pressure in the patent space after multiple attacks against them and their partners. And now they were going to do something about it.In his post, Walker noted that Google had laid down the initial "stalking-horse" bid for over 6,000 patents that were up for sale due to the Nortel bankruptcy. "If successful, we hope this portfolio will not only create a disincentive for others to sue Google, but also help us, our partners and the open source community"which is integrally involved in projects like Android and Chrome"continue to innovate," Walker wrote.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/uKvXnrP0kcw/
