Microsoft sues Barnes and Noble over AndroidMicrosoft sues Barnes and Noble over AndroidPosted Mar 22, 2011 20:40 UTC (Tue) by FlorianMueller (guest, #32048)In reply to: Microsoft sues Barnes and Noble over Android by dan_linder Parent article: Microsoft sues Barnes and Noble over Android
B&N will hardly "get Google to come on too." With 500-odd patents, most of them just search-related, Google is too weak to have an impact in such a dispute. Yesterday's lawsuits (a federal suit and an ITC complaint) take the number of Android-related patent lawsuits up to 37. If Google had the ability to show some authority with its own patents, many of those would never have been filed in the first place.

This is bullshit.
Are you aware of Google's company portfolio ?

I am perfectly aware, you are not, which doesn't of course prevent you from writing a comment like that. Plus, I am civilized while you are not. So, here are the facts why Google's patent portfolio is far too weak to protect Android. That article contains links to the USPTO database and to useful statistics. Google is a patent dwarf.

I don't follow any link of yours. Keep it for you as you like it and let's also note that company's goodwill and popularity is not measured by the patents they hold.
