Microsoft
has inked a broad patent cross-licensing agreement with Kyocera Mita, Japanese
maker of printers, copiers, and Linux-based embedded devices. Since December
2003, when Microsoft finally figured out that licensing patents was a good idea,
it has entered into more than 200 patent cross-licenses, and been sued for
patent infringement at least twice that, doling out billions of dollars in
damages and settlements.
