Hey ya'll,
Here's an interesting yet short article that was uploaded yesterday: http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/google-accuses-bt-of-arming-patent-trolls-in-new-lawsuit-1131280.
This stems from a acusation in 2011 where BT said that Google infrindged on 6 mobile patents in all different departments like Andriod, Maps, and Gmail. Now Google's basically claiming that BT used Google's patents for phone calls and networking.
They're trying to turn the tables on them for this, and they say that they have an army of patent trolls.
It's in the courts now, but it's really impressive that BT is heading up against Google, a huge giant in the industry. It will be an interesting story to follow along in the coming months.
Kick the dog and the dog bites back.
ReplyDeleteThats what BT did, they woke a slumbering giant. Google plays dirty, BT should have known that before accusing them of theft. My prediction is BT loses in the long run.
It's nice seeing a smaller company try to go head up against tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Apple etc. I'd have to agree with Michael on this, Google's army of lawyers are most probably too much for BT to handle.
