  • Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation
    Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation Immediately after Oracle America filed a patent infringement suit against Google Inc. in August 2010 the trade press labelled this a “software war.” Their interest was a trial featuring Oracle’s “star” counsel David Boies. In mid-January often cited Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents, wrote “Google is patently too weak to protect Android—Google’s cell phone software.”1 (On April 4 Lead bidder Google offered $900 million for Nortel’s 6,000 patents and applications. A decision is expected in June}. By the end of March he had counted 39 patent infringement suits against Google.2 Whether Oracle wins Oracle v Google or not, Oracle and IBM may become losers. It is important that Oracle not alienate the software development community or its customers as it attempts to monetise the assets from the Sun Microsystems—now Oracle America— acquisition. The Oracle v. Google complaint was carefully targeted at Google’s Android software, avoiding the appearance of monetising the Java language and platform itself. The Android software was developed as open source in conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, subject to Linux patents. Google published all of the computer code under an Apache Software Foundation License.3 This license is royalty-free and places no restrictions on derivative products or commercial use. Based on IDC market share estimates by the fourth quarter of 2010, Android phones had 39% of the market. An Oracle asset gained through the acquisition of Sun was the OpenOffice open-source software—one of the only remaining substantial “competitors” to Microsoft’s document processing applications.

  • BY DESIGN It’S Been 20 Years Since the First Imac Was Unveiled
    BY DESIGN It’s been 20 years since the first iMac was unveiled. Revolutionary at the time, the iMac G3 is one of the most iconic computers that ever existed. The iMac is 20. It’s hard to believe but Apple wasn’t always the globe-dominating giant it is today, worth more than the GDP of some nations. When Steve Jobs got up on stage on May 6, 1998, to unveil the iMac, Apple was at a low ebb, struggling to maintain con- sistent profitability. In July 1997 its shares had hit a 10-year low, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison was consid - ering putting in a bid. Jobs himself was only months into his second stint at the flailing company. “It’s hard to believe today that a Steve Jobs prod- uct presentation would be met with indifference, but there was a huge amount of scepticism about Apple’s product announcements back in early 1998,” Jason Snell, a journalist and broadcaster who has spent his whole career covering Apple, wrote recently. “Though there were definitely signs that the company was turning it around, I also recall being summoned to Apple product events where nothing much at all was announced. Regardless, only the editor-in-chief of Macworld, Andy Gore, even bothered to go to the announcement that day.” 54 FLASHES / JUNE 2018 FLASHBACK JUNE 2018 / FLASHES 55 EXPLORE Above: Steve Footage from the event – shared by current CEO Jobs unveils the Tim Cook – shows Jobs, perhaps the greatest sales- iMac, based on the PowerPC G3 man the world has ever seen, describing the $1299 especially when measured against the PCs of the day.

  • Entrepreneurs Must Have Drive and Perseverance to Be Successful
    Stanford eCorner Entrepreneurs Must Have Drive and Perseverance to Be Successful Gordon Davidson, Fenwick &West, LLP May 26, 2004 Video URL: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/884/Entrepreneurs-Must-Have-Drive-and-Perseverance-to-Be-Successful Gordon discusses companies he believes exemplify outstanding drive and perseverance. Apple has tremendous creativity that has paid off with the success of the iPod. Oracle is extremely dedicated to its vision and has surmounted obstacles in order to achieve it. Intuit has a relentless commitment to the customer that has led the company through tough times. Transcript Drive in perseverance. Here are four examples of incredible driver in perseverance: Apple. It goes without saying. I think this is a company that had tremendous creativity, fought hard against first of all a conventional computers then a new competitor, IBM. The famous ad in the Wall Street Journal where Apple put about a full-page ad on the daily IBM PC was announced and it said welcome, IBM, to the personal computer industry, seriously. That kind of perseverance today with creativity with iPod and so forth they offered in the company. Unshakeable conviction that will work. I worked a great deal with Oracle and Larry Ellison in the early days. The vision there was the vision that you could have a relational database that worked equally well across all hardware platforms and IBM was doing DB2 on IBM but everybody else needed a Unix version and so forth. It was more Larry Ellison's will that it be done than any creative genius. He just said it can be done.
