t leader in the United States and with that its getting some unwanted attention Legal attentionThats one way to look at the patent lawsuit filed Thursday by Oracle alleging that Googles operating system borrows from its Java technology which Oracle acquired when it purchased Sun Microsystems this yearAccording to the suit Google built Android using Java applications and frameworks and though it utilizes a workaround meant to side-step Oracles intellectual property Oracle alleges that Go
ogle is still infringing on its patentsThe issue has raised eyebrows in the software community particularly because Java is generally considered a free open-source technologyWhile Android probably was an eventual target of Oracle its recent ascendance has probably made it even more attractive to patent holders Android recently eclipsed Apples iOS and Research in Motions BlackBerry operating systems to become the top smart phone platform in the United StatesWhat always happens with phone te
chnology is once they become popular the lawsuits come out said Allen Nogee a wireless technology analyst at research firm In-Stat Android is growing nicely with more market share and now its time to jump on the platform to gain from that Thats how companies workWith Googles backing Android may not just be a lucrative target but perhaps an easier target While Google has built up a formidable array of patents in search it may not have a deep portfolio of mobile patents to counter rival
s looking to sue it said Mark Driver an analyst with Gartner Oftentimes companies settle patent disputes by agreeing to cross-license each others patentsWhen vendors of this size fight patents can act as a deterrent on both sides The fact that Oracle has come out with a public lawsuit suggests that Googles patent portfolio around this particular vendor must be weak Driver said And if they dont have a strong portfolio that could be trouble in the futureIt could be trouble not just for
Google but also partners who use Android HTC one of the leading smart phone manufacturers using Android has also faced its share of legal challenges about its use of the operating systemApple sued HTC in March alleging 20 patent infringements on issues that include the underlying operating system That case is still being heardHTC also agreed in April to pay Microsoft an undisclosed sum and inked an intellectual property rights licensing deal to provide coverage for its Android phones HTC
declined to comment for this storyGoogle for its part has vowed to fight the Oracle patent suitWe are disappointed Oracle has chosen to attack both Google and the open-source Java community with this baseless lawsuit the company said in a statement The open-source Java community goes beyond any one corporation and works every day to make the web a better place We will strongly defend open-source standards and will continue to work with the industry to develop the Android platformBut the
Oracle case probably will not be the last said analyst Will Stofega of IDC He said the mobile sector in general is becoming rife with patent lawsuits as smart phones become an even more popular technology And Google will get its fair share as it leads the smart phone marketGoogle created this thing and it has deep roots in a lot of different things Stofega said of Android If you get someone good enough they can find a potential patent conflictBut most analysts dont believe the threat o
f patents will derail Androids success If it cant prevail in court Google may end up paying a licensing fee to Oracle which it could swallow or pass on to its hardware manufacturing partners It could mean charging vendors to use Android for the first time though that wouldnt be a significant problem said Ken Dulaney an analyst with GartnerIf youre a manufacturer today and you look at your choices Android is still the best option he said This is the only really viable alternative to be

in a November statementIn January Whitacre said Liddell could be a candidate for CEO if he performed wellLiddell -- whose r谷sum谷 includes a stint as CEO of Carter Holt Harvey a wood- and paper-products company in his native New Zealand -- must keep GMs financials in shape through the IPO and any subsequent stock offerings said Joe Phillippi principal of AutoTrends Consulting in New Jersey And to pass his test as CFO Liddell must ensure GM has an investment-grade credit rating (New G

blish statistics on what brands products are being counterfeited but designers and trade experts said the downmarket trend in counterfeiting became more noticeable over the last year as counterfeiters got more inventive the field is big the total value of counterfeit goods seized by united states customs officials increased by more than 25 percent each year from 2005 to 2008 using the governments fiscal calendar in fiscal 2009 as imports over all dropped by 25 percent the value of counte
rfeit products seized dropped by only 4 percent to $2607 millionthe official statistics capture only a piece of the problem companies and experts say because so many counterfeiters market directly to customers on the internet and many of those sales go undetected by the authoritiesonline is much harder to patrol and enforce said todd kahn general counsel for coach the handbag and accessories companythat is particularly true for smaller brands as anna corinna sellinger co-founder and c
reative director of the new york clothing and accessories company foley corinna learneda couple of years ago she began checking out which foley corinna items were selling on ebay her city tote which now retails for $485 was a popular item but on some listings there was something off -its a color i never did or a leather i never did she saidas other sites proliferated and ms corinna sellinger noticed more and more internet fakes she stopped looking altogether its just too frustratin
g she said you can try to do something but its so big and so fastwhile ms corinna sellinger basically had herself and a computer to patrol for fakes big companies use legal teams who train customs officials on the nuances of their product monitor the web ask internet service providers to take down copycat sites and file lawsuits against sellers (the brands only go after sellers the law in the united states does not prohibit consumers from buying counterfeit products)ugg australia th
e popular boot brand developed a full enforcement program after it realized how prevalent copies of its boots were in 2009 60000 pairs of boots were confiscated by customs agents globally ms evert-burks said in the same year the company took down 2500 web sites selling fake products along with 20000 ebay listings and 150000 listings on other trading sites like craigslist and ioffer thats despite the relatively low price of real ugg boots which cost around $140 for a basic modelund
er similar programs versace won $20 million in a recent lawsuit against counterfeiters while gucci louis vuitton and other luxury brands have been pursuing similar cases coach last year announced operation turnlock in which it would file civil lawsuits against counterfeiters and it has sued 230 times mr kahn said at liz claiborne inc which owns brands like juicy couture and kate spade the company has gone after 52 web sites selling counterfeits and removed 27000 auction listings so
far this yearthe lesson for many counterfeiters has been that they have a better chance of getting away with it if they copy smaller brands like foley corinna -even though foley corinna while popular with celebrities and fashion types is not widely recognized as a status brand and its bags can be had for as little as $126 on the brands own web siteonce its out there a lot people wont even want the real one because then theyre like ＆people are going to think its fake ms corinna sellinge

Oracle case probably will not be the last said analyst Will Stofega of IDC He said the mobile sector in general is becoming rife with patent lawsuits as smart phones become an even more popular technology And Google will get its fair share as it leads the smart phone marketGoogle created this thing and it has deep roots in a lot of different things Stofega said of Android If you get someone good enough they can find a potential patent conflictBut most analysts dont believe the threat o

selected Akerson this week after Whitacre told them he couldnt commit to staying much longer The board wanted to tell investors who would lead GM for the foreseeable future before it filed for an initial public offering GM is expected to register for the IPO next weekIn announcing the transition Thursday Whitacre said his job was done GM had returned to profitability The next task falls to AkersonWhitacre was the turnaround The next one is the IPO said David Cole chairman of the Center
for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor And once that occurs I think well see a transition then to someone for the longer termCole said he doesnt expect Akerson to stay much longer than a couple of years Appointing a board member to a long-term CEO position might have discouraged people aspiring to run GM he saidPeople like Liddell The 52-year-old CFO had that position at Microsoft for more than four years but then left late last year to expand his career beyond being a CFO Microsoft said
in a November statementIn January Whitacre said Liddell could be a candidate for CEO if he performed wellLiddell -- whose r谷sum谷 includes a stint as CEO of Carter Holt Harvey a wood- and paper-products company in his native New Zealand -- must keep GMs financials in shape through the IPO and any subsequent stock offerings said Joe Phillippi principal of AutoTrends Consulting in New Jersey And to pass his test as CFO Liddell must ensure GM has an investment-grade credit rating (New G
