GOOGLE attack by Nortel, the Canadian company the former telecommunications giant now in bankruptcy. Mountain View has announced it has reached a preliminary agreement to acquire the company at a price per hour of approximately $ 900 million. The purchase of Nortel, once perfected, would allow Google to take advantage of the nearly 6,000 patents in the telecommunications field and deposited by the Canadian company that includes wireless technology, 4G, Internet, service providers, networking and much more.
But projects of Google have to deal with Microsoft that there is right and raises: "Although the patent change in ownership, we can continue to exploit them exclusively now and forever." The security of the multinational Redmond arises from the fact that the latter holds, according to a patent cross-licensing agreement signed with Nortel in 2006, a license worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free for the use of innovations made by the Canada.
Microsoft is categorical: "The rights of patent exploitation continue, regardless of who shall be the owner." Google, for its part, states that the acquisition of Nortel's patents would have only a "defensive operation" to hold such a wide range of innovations, say from Mountain View, "is the best defense of society and of course the people." It would also be protected so will the advertising business and advertising, computer services and future, from any lawsuits that might be brought against the corporation.
Paradoxically, however, just the acquisition of Nortel could lead to a new lawsuit between Google and Microsoft. If the claims of perpetual exploitation of patents by the corporation in Redmond should be confirmed, the result would be that nobody but Google would be interested in buying the Canadian company.
So Mountain View might be holding a mountain of patents, however, may not yield anything, as "assigned" to exploit to its main rival, Microsoft. And this could open a legal dispute between the two giants from the time and cost indefinite.
