Exactly, patents are public. BN can examine all patents held by MS. At any point MS can threaten BN with any patent in their portfolio. MS has no legal obligation to disclose to them ahead of time which patent they are violating in our current legal system.
If this goes to court then it will be public, but until then companies have a legal right to conduct business in private.
