Apple might have lost this time. But the only winners are the big companies when it comes to patents. MS and others have a huge portfolios that crushes everyone who does anything like what they have a patent for. Why are you glad? Do you think patent laws will be overturned by this in the future? They're all just going to continue playing the same game.
- kls 16y agoWhy are you glad? No one can win at the game they are playing, it was always mutually assured destruction, when it came to the big players suing the big players. Apple made a move on HTC thinking that they where not a big enough fish to start a meltdown. Their analysis was wrong, it did. Now with the big fish not focusing on their core competency it gives others an opportunity in the market. The mobile patent wars has grown to big for any of them to control, now the only way they will be able to draw it to an end will be to lobby for patent reform. There is no doubt in my mind that these wars are close to boiling over into the desktop market. Until someone mistepped and started the unwinable war, it was a game stack against the little guy and a tool used exclusively on them. Now the weapon has been turned on the wielders, which was the logical first step that had to happen before any weight would be put behind reform.
