Microsoft embraces another Linux company
Patently clear patent deal
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software
Another day, another company developing Linux-based tech falls into line with Microsoft's intellectual property wonks.
Japanese Flash maker I-O Data Device Inc has agreed to cough up an undisclosed sum of cash to Microsoft under a Linux software deal.
This is the latest such agreement Microsoft has made with a tech company that uses Linux in its products.
I-O Data's network-attached storage devices and its routers that run on Linux apply to the "patent covenants" said Microsoft in a statement yesterday.
“We’re pleased to reach this agreement with I-O Data,” said MS intellectual property boss David Kaefer.
“Microsoft has a strong track record of collaboration with companies running Linux-based offerings, and this agreement is a reflection of our commitment to partner with industry leaders around the world.”
Just last week Redmond inked an IP licensing exFAT deal with Panasonic. ®
