Quite interesting the post in Google’s blog about their point of view of software patents and how the Android technology is being “attacked” by specific companies that are buying more and more patents.
A couple of sweets:
Patents were meant to encourage innovation, but lately they are being used as a weapon to stop it.
Unless we act, consumers could face rising costs for Android devices — and fewer choices for their next phone.
So, probably Google is exactly pointing to the problem: software patents and how they were supposed to be, but how they really are.
Let’s think about how this may affect the business model of SMEs which can not reply as Google, Samsung or HTC do…
Thanks to Xataca for the pointer.
