Patent Litigation Weekly: Inside Google's first patent trial
,----[ Quote ]
| This week: the software giant's hard-nosed
| strategy for dealing with patent-holding
| plaintiffs gets put to the testâand proves
| successful.
|
| Late last month, Google won its first patent
| infringement lawsuit to go to a jury trial, in
| the Eastern District of Texas. The plaintiff
| was Function Media LLC, a patent holding
| company owned by husband-and-wife inventors
| Michael Dean and Lucinda Stone. Unlike like
| many of those who file patent suits in the
| plaintiff-friendly venue, Dean and Stone
| actually live in the Eastern District,
| residing in Tyler.

Google's MapReduce patent - no threat to stuffed elephants
,----[ Quote ]
| In mid-January, Google won a patent for
| MapReduce, the distributed data crunching
| platform that underpins its globe-spanning
| online infrastructure. And that means
| there's at least a question mark hanging
| over Hadoop, the much-hyped open source
| platform that helps drive Yahoo!, Facebook,
| Microsoft's Bing, and an ever-expanding
| array of other web services and back-end
| business applications.
|
| Hadoop is based in part on a MapReduce
| research paper Google published in 2004,
| about six months after it applied for the
| patent.
