boas,<br>
<br>
e cá temos mais truques baixos dos mesmos de sempre!!!<br>
<br>
You may recall last summer that Apple, Microsoft, EMC, RIM, Ericsson
and Sony all teamed up to <a target="_blank"
href="http://www.techdirt.com/blog/wireless/articles/20110701/01110214930/nortel-patents-sold-45-billion-to-apple-emc-microsoft-rim-ericsson-sony.shtml">buy
Nortel's patents</a> for $4.5 billion. They beat out a team of
Google and Intel who bid <a target="_blank"
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110701/23392814939/google-tried-bidding-geeky-numbers-nortel-patents-how-about-314159-billion.shtml">a
bit less</a>. While there was some antitrust scrutiny over the
deal, it was dropped and the purchase went through. Apparently, the
new owners picked off a bunch of patents to transfer to
themselves... and then all (minus EMC, who, one hopes, was horrified
by the plans) decided to <a target="_blank"
href="http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/05/rockstar/all/1">support
a massive new patent troll</a> armed with the remaining <i>4,000</i>
patents. The company is called Rockstar Consortium, and it's run by
the folks who used to run Nortel's patent licensing program anyway
-- but now employs people whose job it is to just find other
companies to threaten...<br>
<br>
Oh, and worst of all, the reason that the antitrust effort was
dropped was because Apple and Microsoft promised to license the key
patents under "reasonable terms." But... Rockstar is not subject to
that agreement.
