Why only Google ? At a first glance, it seems to me that these patents would also cover Microsoft's Bing and Apple's AppStore(tm). So why target only Google ?

Why only Google ?
At a first glance, it seems to me that these patents would also cover Microsoft's Bing and Apple's AppStore(tm). So why target only Google ? Are they perceived as the weakest link or are they siding with Microsoft/Apple ?
They also have these patents for long, why attack Google now ?
- schwuk 15y agoThe article told you - licensing. They've been trying to get Google to license the patents. Presumably Microsoft and Apple have already licensed them, or come to some other arrangement.
