Despite the good purpose to protect
intellectual property , which lies in the idea of patents , today they are often used only as a way of defrauding money. There is such a type of firms that are not engaged in the development of technology , and simply buy the right to own or someone else's invention registers them in a roundabout way . This patent trolls , which may suffer from not only small companies , but large corporations . To protect against them, made to conclude cross- licensing agreements that have recently made Google and Cisco.
Google and Cisco announced the signing a cross-licensing agreement covering several technological areas in which both companies operate . In such transactions, pending patents and publish lists of detailed terms of the agreement , which has not happened and now. However, journalists believe that the company will be able to use the invention each other in research and commercial activities , away from fraudulent wanting to cash in on this .
As Google, and Cisco are part of a coalition to reform U.S. patent law , the purpose of which includes the complication of life trolls . By the way , the search giant has promised to use the findings of inventions only for direct protection of themselves and partners. With new patents from Cisco, played a huge role in the development of data transmission technologies , defense Google substantially strengthened.
We remind you that this is the third Google deal lately , in varying degrees, associated with patents. Lenovo recently bought from the search giant Motorola Mobility, and with it the 2000 inventions in design and the right to use other intellectual property products in the U.S. for 10 years. But shortly before the major cross- licensing agreement with Google to Korean corporation Samsung. Hardly worth taking Google's actions as preparation for aggression , most likely , the company creates around itself a powerful defense to get rid of further attacks if such appear.
