A number of software giants who are using Linux kernels from different providers without owning the proper rights are expected to face patent violation issues in future.
The jury said that Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) violated patent rules by using Linux in its backend servers. The search giant has been ordered to pay an amount of $5 million to Bedrock Computer Technologies, a Texas based small business. This may be the beginning of many future disputes.
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) company shares are currently standing at 525.1.
