- algorias 17y agoWhat about collateral damage of such enforcement?
- lsb 17y agoMicrosoft will do everything in its power to make sure it can sell Office. They have tens of billions of dollars to ensure that this doesn't happen.
- andreyf 17y agoExcept this doesn't apply here in the least. Microsoft has a lot more to gain from strict patent enforcement than it has to lose. This is hardly a good reason for Microsoft to give up all of the effort they've put into their software patent portfolio.
- Retric 17y agoI don't think they have enforced a single patent and they have paid out ~1billion to patent trolls so I find it hard to believe patents are a net gain for them.
