Google And Android Patent Dispute
Author from G1 with Android, with the Nexus One
, and I have to set the next generation of Nexus. I obsessed with Google's services, there are two payment account, and Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and Google+ Circles up than I thought it would be much more comfortable. As of the contributions this moment, I think Google has yet to wake up from the chaos.
But now I am worried about Google in mobile phones and mobile phones around the patent issue is still (continue) to remain silent.
The patent system caused by the presence of an embarrassment. If you have certain ideas, and enough money, you do not even have to invent something can be patented. You just need to sit back, can blackmail other people or companies. The patent system is a terrible system, which we and Google are bogged down in one of the system.
Here are some cases:
Just become the fifth the Android manufacturers Winstron due to use Android certificate and agreed to pay Microsoft licensing fees. They step HTC, General Dynamics, as well as some other company's footsteps. Motorola, Barnes and Noble also currently being sued for the same certificate problem. Microsoft seek the same benefits from Samsung.
The terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed, but Citigroup analyst Walter Pritchard predicted that HTC may be the price of $ 5 each Android payment to Microsoft, and there are rumors that Microsoft wants to profit $ 15 price of each product from Samsung. This is Microsoft simply by a Windows Mobile certificate. (By contrast, Google does not rely on the Android certificate any benefit - it is free.)
Why some companies pay the cost of patent protection to it under the despotic power of Microsoft's patent system, while Google did not it? Google shortage of its own the heavyweight mobile device patent, which means that they can not protect themselves. They put themselves under the strong ones of the competitors and speculators.
Google should have to rely on Nortel's patent auction some serious operation to save yourself verge of hemorrhagic death of the patent system. Instead, they inexplicably attention on irrelevant projects up.
Now, the message from Robert Cringely revealed Apple 4,500,000,000 shares of $ 2 billion tender share will make their Nortel's LTE 4G and other items of patent ownership. Apple has sued Android vendors already include HTC, Motorola and Samsung, the operation of this series and some chips for Apple add LTE patents.
Google means to try to delay the purchase of time or the use of antitrust can even try to have been created through the acquisition of such companies to return to this competing interests like the BlackBerry manufacturer RIM (At this time, the Palm and Nokia can not be discussed) . But so far, we have not hear or see them do anything to help their partners.
Some Android developers are not patent speculative company Lodsys prosecution is going to be sued Apple iOS developers are facing problems. Patent litigation is very time-consuming lawsuit of money, regardless of the cost of litigation or compensation costs are very expensive. This means that developers instead of getting the benefits of the litigation, but also inevitably slow down the speed of product development.
Apple did not provide compensation grants for developers, but it is at least in Lodsys lawsuit mediation application. This is a good strategy on the action. Far as we know, Google did not provide any help for the Android developers.
They (Google) VP8 express any view, even if this new video standard OGG Theora format and better than H.264 play a more unrestricted - but at the same time it also faces has a patent licensing MPEG - LA possible actions. Plus the curb Oracle lawsuit Java in Android development, which can be seen: Google show an almost reckless attitude when it comes to patent issues.
Perhaps they do not care whether Microsoft and Apple might pull their manufacturers quit - maybe they think this is the manufacturer's problem. Google does not profit directly from Android, so this is certainly also a possibility.
However, if the provisions in the terms of Microsoft's Bing search and advertising exclusive use not authorized to pay to use, if Apple's reconciliation treaty ODM vendors into production Windows phone is more financially viable, then it makes Google victory in patent war, there is a greater power farther and farther astray on it?
I hope not. I hope that they will take action as soon as possible. I really want the next generation of Nexus, it's like Andy Rubin and Matias Duarte made the most delicious ice cream sandwiches, I also want to have a fantastic hardware HTC, Motorola and Samsung. Many, many years later I do not want I also stifle innovation patent litigation, damage to original design manufacturers, or deter developers to develop product messages are worried.
Google now has the most powerful and the most popular platform on the planet, but the accompanying responsibility. You can not turn a blind eye to the crisis of the manufacturers and developers, you have not just technically one of the wealthiest and most influential companies.
