  Q&A: Microsoft's IP chief on TomTom, Linux and patents
Time: 05:39 EST/10:39 GMT | News Source: TechFlash | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Todd Bishop: Microsoft's suit against TomTom has created a stir in the open-source world as the Redmond company's first case alleging patent infringement over an implementation of the Linux kernel. However, Microsoft downplays that aspect of the suit and says the case is not the beginning of a broader legal campaign against open-source software.

Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft's corporate vice president deputy general counsel for intellectual property, didn't raise the Linux subject on his own when he outlined the case for me yesterday, but he acknowledged the issue and went into detail in response to my questions.
