Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder along with Bill Gates, sued no less than 11 online companies for breaching different patents.
Among the companies that will appear in court we mention real online giants like Google, Yahoo, Apple, AOL, eBay or Facebook.
The technologies owned by Paul Allen were developed in the 90′s and they basically represent algorithms dedicated to developing web sites ( suggestions, advertising systems, information flows, etc. ).Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder says that these technologies were used without approval by the companies above in order to develop their business.
The most note worthy company that was sued by Paul Allen, Google, says that Paul Allen’s decision follows the new trend of some people to compete in the court room and not on the market.
Is Paul Allen feeling a painful financial recoil after he decided to donate half his fortune for charity ?!
