How do you handle a competitor who decides to give away what you have slaved over to perfect? Google is essentially supplying Android for free. Is that good? Android has clearly encroached on a lot of IP estates and it is ironic that Google is now scrambling to grab patents. <br /><br />It also makes me smile that Google's manifesto is "Don't do Evil.... for short term gains." It's OK if the gains are long term! <br /><br />That has pretty much done for Symbian, RIM and ironically Microsoft has to pay people to sell Microsoft mobile. It won't be too long before Android is completely dominant and some pretty good Mobile OS systems are toast.<br /><br />As a consumer I for one do not want to see this happen. IP is often wilfully ignored by larger companies with MAD patent portfolios. But a robust IP system is the saviour for many a consumer and I for one do not want to see this undone.<br /><br />If the patent system in the US (it is a US problem) is broken then its companies such as Google who are in part wielding the hammers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
