In the murky world of patents, there are only two ways to avoid complications: either pay, or League. Not long ago we told you that Samsung had chosen the second option after Apple told him that if he would be in the courts had to pay a fee for each phone or tablet sold in the opinion that Apple violated any of its patents, and now we find out what (surprisingly?) Microsoft refused to take a belligerent posture.
As reported by Reuters, in 2010 Apple Microsoft proposed an agreement whereby the Redmond can safely make use of several ?precious design patents.? We do not know now how much Microsoft paid no concrete designs covered by these patents, regardless of whether despite having permission to carry out similar products, Microsoft could not release devices ?cloned? (in other words, they can only save a certain resemblance .)
It must be said that Microsoft is not exactly rare in these conflicts, as long is pulling a chunk of its patents by licensing some device manufacturers to Android, which might otherwise be exposed to legal action. It seems that Microsoft saw what was coming with the launch of products such as Surface and preferred to adopt a more pragmatic than belligerent.
