Eric Schmidt, former CEO and current executive chairman of Google,
had a sit-down interview with Wall Street Journal on various topics
within the Google’s realm. The conversation picked up when reporter
Jessica E. Lessin asked about the ongoing legal battles between Apple
and companies that manufacture Android-powered smartphones.
“It’s extremely curious that Apple has chosen to sue Google’s
partners and not Google itself,” Schmidt said. He added that this
back-and-forth patent litigation will “continue for a while,” but the
real losers here are upstart engineers who are developing new startups
and technologies.
“How is he or she going to be able to get the patent coverage
necessary to offer version one of their product,” Schmidt asked.
“That’s the real consequence of this.”
