The Linux camp wants to overturn three Microsoft patents

Article title: The Linux camp wants to overturn three Microsoft patents. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

On June 23, April 29, a Linux promotion organization, openexceptionnetwork (OIN), said on Tuesday that it will publicly collect data on inventions to help overturn Microsoft's three patents. Microsoft accused some Linux kernel implementations of infringing these three patents.

The organization said it would collect so-called "first-technology" examples to help prove that Microsoft used the three patent management technologies used to sue the GPS manufacturer TomTom were illegal. Although TomTom and Microsoft have reached a settlement, this case creates the possibility that Microsoft will sue other Linux vendors.

OIN encourages people with earlier examples that cover Microsoft patents to provide these examples through the Internet.

Oin ceo KeithBergelt said in a statement that the patent screening activity provided by the Linux Guardian portal provides a unique opportunity, concentrate the knowledge, enthusiasm, and creativity of the Linux community to better validate the legitimacy of the patents Microsoft sued TomTom. He said, I encourage the entire Linux community to actively participate in this activity. In this way, other companies seeking to develop Linux strategies will be able to better understand the quality of these patents
