Microsoft Sues Barnes & Noble, Targets Android Use
Microsoft has filed suit against Barnes & Noble, Foxconn International Holdings, and Inventec Corp., claiming infringement of the following:
- The use of tabs for navigation in a control window
- Showing download status superimposed on a page
- The ability to select text
- The ability to annotate text text without changing the underlying document.
- The display of page content before the background is displayed
Where does the patent office find the people who approve patents for these things? This is utterly ridiculous! Not only should Microsoft be ashamed of themselves for patenting things like this, U.S. citizens as a whole should be appalled that we’ve allowed things to reach this preposterous level.
