Google has been proven guilty of infringing on their push notification patents! This was brought up when a company the goes by the name of Patent Troll went after Google. This group basically "trolls" other companies to see if they went against any of their patents. Patent Troll is seeking $125 million in damages. They have been after: Apple, Motorola, Samsung, and Microsoft. The plaintiff is SimpleAir.
We have learned a lot about infringing on things in English. We have learned that it can be very serious like in this article where they are seeking $125 million against Google.
I believe Google is wrong for doing this. $125 million may be a little much but Google did use someone else idea to make money. In reality if someone used something of mine to make money I would be mad if i did not get a cut.
What is the central idea of the passage and how is it developed and refined throughout the selection? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.
The central idea of this passage is is that Google has been proven guilty of infringement. Google has been proven guilty of infringing on their push notification patents and the author develops this idea by telling us about the other company that they were steeling from and their background."Google has been hit by a patent troll. A company that's gone after Apple, Microsoft, Motorola, and Samsung — among other tech companies — has proven in court that Android's push notification services infringe on one of its patents, and it's now seeking damages of $125 million or more (Jacob Kastrenakes ). The author uses this this so the reader can understand what is going on better instead of just saying they are being sued by a company. Now the reader knows that it is by a company whose main intentions was to find something wrong.
I like your article, it is interesting and something I would never have found. Sometimes your train of thought is hard to follow and can confuse a reader. Why is Google being attacked if Google has the patent on their push notifications? What does SimpleAir have to do with the article, other than being the plaintiff?
