p.1 #3 · Microsoft and Nikon Enter Into Patent Cross-Licensing Agreement
I’ve seen various post like one above. i wonder why people assume negative without knowing the detail of the deal (and without explaining the reasons).
so they can now both use each others' patents. I’d think it’s a good thing for engineering work, since they don’t have to re-do any work that’s been done by others without fear of patent violation, which can be very costly.
