I have heard it before, but it still fascinates me that Microsoft makes more money from Android than from Windows Mobile due to patent royalties!

Google Granted Identity Management Patent

Category: PatentsTeknovis @ 20:06

I read an interesting article over the weekend describing how Google was granted a patent for identity management.

The article is Google Granted Pseudonym Patent (You’re Welcome. And, What Is Wrong With You), and the patent is US 8,271,894 – Social computing personas for protecting identity in online social interactions.

I am sure that there is novelty destroying prior art that has been previously published!

It is very impressive, although I do not know how accurate it is.

Ask Patents

Category: PatentsTeknovis @ 20:45

I came across Ask Patents today! It seems like a very interesting idea, and it is probably best explained in AskPatents.com: A Stack Exchange To Prevent Bad Patents.

It will be interesting to see how it develops!
