HTC Takes Revenge; Hits Apple
,----[ Quote ]
| Bruce Perens has written in detail about
| the problems of software patents, âPatents,
| originally created to stimulate innovation,
| may now be having the opposite effect, at
| least in the software industry. Plagued by
| an exponential growth in software patents,
| many of which are not valid, software
| vendors and developers must navigate a
| potential minefield to avoid patent
| infringement and future lawsuits. Coupled
| with strategies to exploit this confusion
| over patents, especially in standards
| setting organizations, it appears that
| software advancement will become stifled
| unless legal action is taken to resolve the
| situation...â
|
| He further wrote ... âPatent royalties tend
| to create discrimination against small-to-
| medium-sized businesses developing any form
| of software, and especially against Open
| Source developers.
|
| The largest businesses in an industry
| generally have patent cross-licenses with
| their peers, and thus they may ignore each
| other's patents while smaller businesses
| have no choice but to license those patents
| if they use them. As a result, there is a
| "tax" upon technology that small businesses
| must pay while the largest businesses are
| exempt.â
|
| Software patents have become weapons for
| companies to fight with each other. This
| not only wastes valuable resources but also
| time of courts. Many activists and experts
| have been raising questions about the
| legality of software patents.
|
| Many countries including India do no allow
| software patents.
