Spotlight On: Software And Programming

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:14:00 GMT

Spotlight On: Software and Programming The software industry is ever changing and subject to new mergers, acquisitions, partnerships and strategic alliances between vendors. The industry can be fairly described as consisting of tiers. Tier I vendors serve the upper end of the market. Their products are for the Fortune 500, multi-location, and multi-national companies.

Is Cisco Spreading Itself Too Thin?

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:59:26 GMT

Through the 90’s, Cisco Systems (CSCO: 18.91, -0.12 (-0.63%)) was known as one of the “4 Horsemen of IT” and was even the largest company by market cap ($500 B) at the peak of the tech bubble in early 2000.

Software cos. eye key patent case in Supreme Court

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:48:00 GMT

WASHINGTON - With the technology industry looking on, the Supreme Court on Monday will explore what types of inventions should be eligible for a patent in a pivotal case that could undermine such legal protections for software.
"Technology companies care about this case because it will define what you can and cannot get a patent on," said Emery Simon, counselor to the Business Software Alliance, which represents large technology companies including Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. "The scope of patentability could have ramifications for the path that technology takes."
"The software industry would lose an important incentive to innovate if the government ceased issuing software patents," warned patent attorney James Carmichael, a former judge on the Patent Office board of appeals.
