I think you end with an interesting point that while Yahoo has been a larger company, with more patents and employees, they may not be strong enough for this patent war they just got themselves into. Facebook is a real threat for them, and while they tried scaring them off with a law suit, they w...

I think it was smart of Facebook to go with a counter suit instead of signing a licensing agreement. It shows that they cannot be pushed around by a big and older company, and the fact that they really think they can defend themselves. Yahoo is going down a slippery slope as they loose consumers ...

Great points and background to the case. Its really an eye for an eye in this case, with 10 vs 10 patents, and even so Facebook comes out as the underdog, since they have less patents, less time even on the internet, yet they are the mega giant on the web.

Yahoo clearly has a strategy, bank on their competitors success. If they can't gain the market share, then profit from the people around them, similar to Microsoft in the smartphone wars. From Google to now Facebook, Yahoo should try to improve the appeal of their products rather than claiming th...

I also agree that Facebok will come out on top. Maybe it's because we both read TechCrunch articles which are biased towards FB, but I think there are legitimate reasons and that they have better patents to defend themselves with.

Great idea pointing out the variety of patents that they just received from this deal with AOL. They are arming themselves well for not just the smartphone industry, but in the tech world overall. They just gained a lot of "useful" patents that will give them strength when negotiating licensing d...

I literally cannot stop listening to that song, so I cannot believe its on your video. I thought I was going crazy at first.....ha. Great point talking about the scope and variety of their patents, both newly obtained and existing, this will give them strength both inside and outside the smartpho...

Great background information and detail that they make more money on each Android phone sold than Windows phone. The only leg up they have in the smartphone industry now is the fact that they have a large, and going patent portfolio. great video

Shareholders are definitely a huge part of AOL's move to sell these patents. Just the day the patents where sold the stock value jumped up. Great ET reference, very entertaining.

AOL is a winner, yes. They did make their investors happy, stock value shot up that day, and as you mentioned they sold patents they wheren't even using, so its no loss to them. The fact that they also have a license agreement to still use 300 of these patents really reflects the success AOL has ...

I agree, this purchase gives Mircosoft a lot of ammo for them to defend themselves in the smartphone patent war, and in general patent wars, for companies that don't even make smartphones, like firefox, as you mentioned. They also may be protected against other litigation and these patents can wo...

Great update with a lot of concrete information that shows us all what going on right now. well done! Google's acquisition of Motorola is important in the smartphone patent war and it will really elevate Google to be in even more of a position of power and growth

great job describing the basics and lingo used in the industry. You bring up a great point that Apple's intension is to slow down competition, and thats why they are suing so many people, since it's expensive and they can afford to do it.

great descriptions of patents and the scale of the smartphone patent war.

Wow the patent has been referenced 12 times?! that legitimizes this for sure. This isn't a bad idea though. Most people just put an ice cream scoop in hot water each time they go in for some ice cream. This obviously saves the time and mess of that, so I understand why this was invented and paten...

So is this how you smoke on a plane? Just kidding....this is such an intricate invention, not sure how many have been sold, or are used. I understand after putting in all the work to create this why an inventor would want to patent it, but really, is someone going to steal this idea?! if you are ...

So the people who invented this really thought it would take off and therefore they patented it? Thats what they must have been thinking, because anyone drinking a beer doesn't want to now have extra gadgets handing off of it. I can understand why this was invented (kinda), but to be patented...wow

you made a good point that people can easily make a "home made" version of this. get light weights or handle bars and jump up and down, and it feels like a jump rope without rope. while prior art may not exist, it doesn't need to. I doubt there is a demand for this product and enough for people t...

Do you need your car/ a device to tell you that you hit a person!? How often are people getting in collisions where they need a device to help them differentiate? I agree that I do not think this patent is useful. Where is there a demand for this, cars have sensors to help them detect any object ...

I looked at this patent too. I cannot believe this was patented. The inventors simply put an elastic band around a chair and exercise however you want. there is no way to check if someone is infringing, and even still, their model for the patent is so specific is must be simple to get around it. ...

you bridge the idea of prior art well with the obviousness, great job. As you said, connecting two ideas, such as storing information on a server and retrieving it, and using internet while on a phone, are very basic technological capabilities, and therefore are indeed obvious.

I also think this obvious. You brought up some great points, if this is a touch screen device, then why can't you touch it with more than one finger at once? Yes, the multi-touch may allow you to do different things, which can be different from one company to the next, but the ability to "double ...

I think you make a great point that some parts may not be completely obvious at first, but given the level of skill in using new technologies some of the "gestures" or actions are in fact obvious for most users.

You got some great information, and "dirt" on this patent! well done. Interesting that there is so much evidence of prior art. It makes me think of how many invalid patents exist and how much prior art there is underneath the surface of a lot of IP. Great investigating work on your patent, well d...

Wow, I'm a little surprised you think the patent is solid enough that it is truly not being infringed on. I think the claim is wordy and could be misleading, but I believe from this class we are taught that if something is actually brought to court there will always be two or more ways of interpr...

I love that you where able to play with the Nexus and compare feature differences! talk about a way to really defend the side of the defendant! You made some legitimate points about the layout and how that visually makes a difference, but when all is done does it match the wording of the patent d...

I think you made an important point that all these patents are very wordy and this leaves room for interpretation, aka loop holes. After learning how rarely patent cases actually move to court clearly the defendant will be making (hopefully) a strong case to defend their IP.

This is going to play out really interesting since mobile payment apps are growing as we speak! I am interning at one right now, so I wonder if they are even aware of this patent. As you note, it is broad, so I wonder if there are loopholes to get around it and since the app is free that will be ...

What an interesting and specific patent! Great display of infringement. How could Motorola not research or ignore this patent when designing this product? you bring up compelling reasons why they are in this law suit and I do not see them making it out alive....great video.
