Palm To Apple: “We Have The Tools Necessary To Defend Ourselves”
It seems that Palm has taken Apple’s acting God CEO Tim Cook’s statement the same way I did. They’ve now shot back with some fighting words of their own:
Well, if Palm was shaken by Cook’s remarks, it’s not letting on. Asked if such aggro rhetoric about Apple’s intellectual property and the grim legal fate of those who might pilfer it worried the company, Palm spokesperson Lynn Fox said not in the least. “Palm has a long history of innovation that is reflected in our products and robust patent portfolio (31 pages of patents in Google Patent Search), and we have long been recognized for our fundamental patents in the mobile space,” she told Digital Daily. “If faced with legal action, we are confident that we have the tools necessary to defend ourselves.”
So there you have it. It’s on now. Palm clearly isn’t afraid of the iLawyers and it’s business as usual for them. The question is, will this be sorted out in some office in the Valley, or in court?
Stay tuned. This should be fun to watch.
