The Apple Chronicles
These days, the tech industry is battling over patents instead of new products.
"These
patent war cases can be — and should be — easily settled, as everyone
in the business knows. Every smartphone company is now armed to the
teeth with patents, and the most sensible way to deal with the issue is
to cross-license the patents. Then the companies can get back to the
business of innovating. Apple’s utter refusal to do so suggests that it
has become less interested — or less capable — of innovating and more
interested in protecting what it has already brought to market.
Or,
as Apple’s former general counsel, Nancy Heinen, tells Kane, “When
patent lawyers become rock stars, it is a bad sign for where an industry
is headed.”"
