Trial Reveals Apple, Microsoft Played Nice on Patent Deals

Trial Reveals Apple, Microsoft Played Nice on Patent Deals: Apple licensed some of its design and feature patents to Microsoft, according to reports from the iPhone maker's ongoing patent trial against Samsung. Apple patent licensing director Boris Teksler loosely discussed the deal in his courtroom testimony. The patents involved in the Microsoft deal weren't the same ones under debate currently in the California court, he said. The agreement came with one significant condition: Microsoft could not "clone" or copy the design of Apple's products. Teksler didn't disclose the exact terms of the arrangement.
