Microsoft (MSFT) Patent Battle Has Companies, Industries Choosing Sides

The battle by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) to make it easier to challenge whether or not a patent is valid or not is heading to the Supreme Court, as various companies and industries line up on both sides of the issue in support of or against the case.

Backing Microsoft are many in the tech sector, including Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY), Facebook Inc. and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC), while lining up against them are 3M Co. (NYSE:MMM), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and General Electric Co. (NYSE:GE), along with branded drug companies like Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and Merck (NYSE:MRK).

Companies supporting Microsoft said in a brief, "Those allegations are often based on invalid patents, but they are nonetheless costly and risky to defend, in part because of the clear-and-convincing standard."

Companies opposing Microsoft noted, "Inventors and society would suffer from such a rule, which would simultaneously reduce the rewards of innovation by weakening property rights while increasing the costs of innovation."

Banks and other financial companies also support Microsoft, as they are often recipients of lawsuits in regard to patents as well.

Cisco (CSCO), Google (GOOG) Invest in Palestinian VC Fund

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) are among several companies and entities backing Sadara Ventures, built to develop start-ups in the Palestinian Authority.

Also backing the venture are the European Investment Bank, AOL Inc. (NYSE:AOL) founder Steve Case and former eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) president Jeff Skoll, among others.

Politically, it is supported by Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

Yadin Kaufmann, one of the fund’s general partners, said in response to questions on the timing of the fund, “If you wait for the perfect time to invest in a fund in the Middle East, you probably never will. There was a time when people thought” that investing in Israel was too risky, “and the people who thought that way missed out on an opportunity to make a lot of money.”

The fund will be searching for investments in software development, mobile communications and Internet content and technologies. “We might look at health-care IT or a medical-device opportunity,” Kaufmann added. “It’s not an area we’ve seen a lot of in the West Bank.”
