Google hits out at Apple and Micro$oft over bogus patents. I suppose, I sue you ... is better than I owe you. "Google has accused rivals Microsoft and Apple of buying up technology patents in a bid to hold back Android. In a blog post, one of Google's top lawyers accused the firms of using "bogus patents" to crank up the cost of Android-powered devices. Microsoft hit back saying Google had been invited to bid with it on key patents but turned down the chance. The statement comes after Google lost several battles over patents covering technology used in handsets." Source: BBC |
