Microsoft Signs Patent License With Amdocs

Microsoft has expanded a list of companies in patent cross licensing deals with the company for Linux coverage, saying yesterday afternoon that it has signed a patent cross-license agreement with Amdocs Software Systems Limited, covering Amdocs' use of Linux-based servers in its data centers. Financial details of the patent deal were not announced, however, Microsoft said that Amdocs will pay the firm an undisclosed amount of money under the agreement. Microsoft has been aggressively--and somewhat controversially--pursuing patent licensing and coverage agreements across several fronts, including Linux and Android, where it believes it owns patents covering technology in those non-Microsoft products.
