A Loser's Whining

Losers are always losers. When they fail, they simply pull out stupid stuns to attempt to even up the game. Little do they know of the word "INNOVATION". Apple did well innovating the iPhone in the beginning but when Google's Android showed them that they can beat Apple, Apple whine about and pull patent threats at manufacturers like HTC. They lost their innovation along time ago and could only cry about with patent battles.

If you see a competitor doing better, find a way to beat the competitor's products like a real man.

Failed Amazon Patent Trolling

Another failed patent trolling and this time it's Amazon. One-click payment is very common these days so don't bother to patent it as we can see, Amazon tried and failed to patent it. Good job for the EPO.

Microsoft could not do well in their Windows Phone business and now they start to collect protection fees. This is some behavior of a gangster, mafia or mobster gang in legal disguise attempting to not hide hypocrisy.

Finally the US DOJ got something decent on their hands to do and got something right after a series of mistakes by attempting to silence whistle blowers.

MPEG-LA and dirty games

As always, MPEG-LA would love to resort to the most lowly of means just to get what they want... hegemony over the world of video codecs, not allowing anyone to create their own video codecs.
