More patent lawsuits! This time it is Microsoft doing the suing and it is Foxconn and Barnes & Noble on the receiving end. Hey, doesn't Foxconn make stuff for Microsoft too? That must be awkward.
Microsoft on Monday accused Taiwan electronics colossus Foxconn and US book seller Barnes & Noble of using its patented technology in e-readers running on Google-backed Android software. Taiwan-based Inventec Corporation was also targeted in Microsoft's legal filings with the US International Trade Commission and a federal court in Washington state where the software giant has its headquarters.
