"Apple’s participation in this new unholy trinity is especially hypocritical. In litigation before the International Trade Commission earlier this year, the company alleged, and convinced the ITC, that various patents in the Kodak portfolio are invalid. Now, despite its past representations, Apple wants to acquire these patents to attack the Android ecosystem."

- moron 14y agoBeing called hypocrites by a tech blogger stings a whole lot less than getting sued for patent infringement.
- arrrg 14y agoThat’s not hypocritical. If you can’t get them invalidated but do get a chance at buying them you definitely should do so if you can afford it. It’s common sense, really. I’m really not sure where the hypocrisy is there.
