Corporate America never ceases to amaze me (in bad ways, of course). Things like this always read like a "The Onion" headline.
Anybody able to explain why this would be an offense? I mean, patent numbers are visible to everyone, since a patent has to be listed, no?
- Zanni 6y agoMy reading of it is that he got in trouble for blogging about a patent that, in his words, "never should have been issued," but in a general way that didn't name the patent. The picture he ran with the blog included the patent number, which someone else looked up, probably kicking up a stink, and his manager took that as a blog post critical of Microsoft. That's a lot of reading between the lines on my part, though, so who knows.
- MauranKilom 6y agoWell it's not being critical of MS that is the problem, but admitting that the patent is worthless which can cause significant (unnecessary) damage/complications.
