It has been recently revealed by Microsoft Company that it is going to follow rational policies for the process of licensing their technological standards, and promise to work in peaceful correlation with its competing companies rather than trying to bog them down with blocking their sales.
They are also of the view that they shall make their patents, available easily, rather than making the other firms to cross-licensing their own technologies which aren’t even required. They have said all this in wake of similar terms and conditions agreed upon by Google. Inc. This is being done so that the regulators stop scrutinizing their actions whilst they are working with Motorola Mobility Holding C. since its acquisition.
In a recent report, it was revealed that Motorola has sued Apple as well as Microsoft, for apparently copying the patents, in which the company had agreed the sharing of technology, which is essential and common for all the companies in the market.
In the statement released by Microsoft, there weren’t any name of companies mentioned. It was further revealed that the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, shall no longer have to give any sort of testimony in the lawsuit on the infringement case filed by the Motorola Company.
“If the CEO of Facebook has relevant knowledge not readily available from other sources, Wireless Ink ought to be able to establish this from documents produced in discovery or the testimony of other employees of Facebook,” U. S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan said in the ruling.
There is need for each firm here to work for the benefit of their own selves as well as for the benefit of each other. They need to form strategic plans that can help them sustain rivalry against each other, while progressing in their own rights
