Barnes & Noble Names Microsoft's Disputed Android Patents

[wraggster]

B&N is really blowing the lid off of what Microsoft is doing (http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/79179) and how they are forcing money from Android. It has accused Microsoft of requiring overly restricted NDA agreements from those even entering into patent license talks. Because it is disputing Microsoft's claims, and the restrictions of its own NDA signed with Redmond, B&N has gone public. It has named in detail six patents that it says Microsoft is using to get Android device makers to pay up. Plus, B&N is also trying to force open Microsoft's other plans for stomping out Android, including the agreement Redmond made with Nokia, and Nokia's patent-troll MOSAID (http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/110911-bn-nokia-mosaid-microsoft-252957.html).
