Microsoft is also one of the largest patent royalty extortionists in the industry.

Can you imagine if Microsoft had these patents? Every single internet-connected device with "AI capabilities" would be paying Microsoft a royalty within 3 years after the company would obtain the patents.

As a reminder, Microsoft made a few billion dollars from Android for patents.
