Apple and Google Tag Teaming Paul Allen Over Patent Attack [Patents]

You would recall Paul Allen’s August bombardment of seemingly every tech company inside the US over some rather tenuous patent accusations. Google and Apple? Not havin’ that. The two are teaming to have the case dismissed with a legal counterattack.

Apple and Google, together with other members of the accused, filed back to back motions last week to dismiss Allen’s charges-which have been for alleged patents, we should remind you, as basic as ” Alerting Users to Items of Current Interest.” Google says Allen is ” not entitled to waste Court and party resources with a scattershot Complaint against multiple Defendants that fails to provide any indication as to which product or service [Allen] contends are infringing and the factual basis for this kind of claim.” Scattershot complaint! Factual basis! Boom! [ Computerworld ]
