Microsoft and Canon have announced that they’ve entered a cross-licensing patent agreement allowing both the companies to gain licenses to each other’s vast patent portfolio.
There’s no mention of the exact monetary transaction but the agreement covers patents across
“broad range of products and services each company offers, including certain digital imaging and mobile consumer products.”
We’re not sure how the companies plan to leverage the patents but if we’re not being too greedy, can we have a Windows Phone taking advantage of Canon technology?
