Friends again-Microsoft and Salesforce settle

by Andrew Watson on 5 August 2010

In what is becoming a glut of interesting IP news at the moment, it’s reported today that MSFT and Salesforce have settled their patent spat. http://www.lanewsmonitor.com/news/Microsoft-and-Salesforce-com-Settle-Patent-Infringement-Lawsuits-1281020552/

It’s good speculation to wonder who the new troll on the block will bother with its new found confidence. The whole behaviour doesn’t feel very MSFT but you can’t disagree easily with the “if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em” logicĀ and approach.
