安卓侵犯了蘋果和微軟多少專利?
????今年7月,專利博客Foss Patents的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)專家弗洛里安?穆勒觀察了向谷歌(Google)安卓(Android)平臺提出專利侵權(quán)訴訟的大型上市公司(共7家,總市值達1.06萬億美元),并統(tǒng)計了蘋果(Apple)和微軟(Microsoft)起訴安卓產(chǎn)品的侵權(quán)專利數(shù)(截至7月1日,已有11項)。 ????周三,穆勒更新了蘋果和微軟受到侵權(quán)的專利名單。從名單上看,安卓勝訴和敗訴的案件總和已有17件了。(詳情參見文后列表。) ????“安卓一直是知識產(chǎn)權(quán)訴訟案的眾矢之的,”穆勒今年7月時寫道,“作為一名安卓用戶,我希望谷歌能更高效地解決這一系列問題。我看到了谷歌官員的公開聲明,不過感覺谷歌在各方面有意回避安卓的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)問題?!?/p> ????似乎恰在此時,正在韓國首爾訪問的谷歌董事會主席埃里克?施密特也加入了這場討論。據(jù)《韓國時報》(Korea Times)報道,他在谷歌的Nexus 7平板電腦產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會上“指責(zé)了蘋果專利拖捕(patent trolling,收購專利然后去打官司索賠)的行徑”。 ????他說:“專利之爭不僅減少了用戶的選擇,還會扼殺制造商的創(chuàng)新精神,這是非常糟糕的。我們努力不受他們影響,并盡力證明自己的清白。因此,從根本上而言,谷歌支持創(chuàng)新,抵制專利之爭?!?/p> ????以下是穆勒總結(jié)的專利侵權(quán)表單: ????1.

????In July, FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller looked at the number of major publicly traded companies that have filed patent infringement suits against devices running on Google's (GOOG) Android platform (seven with a total market cap of $1.06 trillion) and the number of Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) patents Android devices have been found by a court to infringe (11 as of July 1). ????On Wednesday, Mueller updated his list of Apple and Microsoft patent infringements. The total, adjusted for rulings that have gone both for and against Android devices, is now 17. (See list below.) ????"Android continues to be an IP infringement lawsuit magnet," Mueller wrote in July. "As an Android user, I would like to see Google address those problems more effectively. When I look at public statements made by Google officials, it sometimes seems that the company is, at different levels, in a state of denial concerning Android's intellectual property issues." ????As if on cue, Google chairman Eric Schmidt weighed in from Seoul, where according to the Korea Times he was "rap[ping] Apple for patent trolling" at a Nexus 7 launch event: ????"Patent wars prevent choice, prevent innovation and I think that is very bad. We are obviously working through that and trying to make sure we stay on the right side of these issues. So ultimately Google stands for innovation as opposed to patent wars." ????Below the fold: A summary of Mueller's list. ????1. EP2059868 The "photo gallery page-flipping" patent. (Apple ) ????2. U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 The "overscroll bounce" or "rubber-banding" patent. (Apple) ????3. U.S. Design Patent No. D618,677 An iPhone-related design patent. (Apple) ????4.
