I found this list of Microsoft patents that are being used to extort fees from
Android distributors:
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/070611-microsoft-android.html
Most of them look completely bogus, though 6,621,746 (flash memory
algorithm) might be valid.
Patent list:
5,579,517
5,758,352
6,621,746
6,826,762
6,909,910
7,644,376
5,664,133
6,578,054
6,370,566
5,778,372
6,339,780
5,889,522
6,891,551
6,957,233

For a moment there, I thought the Clayton Act had a Trolling provision!

| Have you seen the video itself? If you are just going by the transcript, could
you quote some examples that seemed rude to you?
I've read about 1/3rd of
the Gates deposition transcript so far, and I just don't see it. To me (IANAL)
it reads like every other deposition of a tech person with possibly selective
memory.
Keep in mind, that like most tech people, Bill Gates probably
considers lawyers to be a lower life form. He has to be shut up in a room with
them for hours while they ask him questions that are obviously designed to
convey a certain impression about his past behaviour, an impression which Gates
obviously does not agree with. So of course he will be a little annoyed about
that.
So far (I am still only 1/3rd through it) I think the most interesting
thing about his deposition is that he does not seemed to have learned to just
answer the question asked. He often rambles on for several sentences about
nearly-unrelated topics, as if he is hoping to somehow confuse the issue or
throw Novell's lawyers off the scent. I'm sure his own legal team must have
warned him to just answer the questions and not to volunteer any extra
information; this style of responding cannot possibly help his case.
Nonetheless, he persists.
It might be a personality trait that he just
can't help trying to impose his view of things on whoever he is talking to.
(Reminds me a bit of Steve Jobs and the famed Reality Distortion Field. All of
these billionaire CEOs have significant egos.) [ Reply to This | # ]
