Here’s what the official statement on this acqisiton:-

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve been acquired by Google and will soon be joining the YouTube team, aligning us with the market leaders in online video. Together we’ll apply what we’ve learned about the space, and we’ll work to develop innovative products and features for the YouTube community. We believe we’ve only scratched the surface in terms of what’s possible with online video, and we are really looking forward to taking the video viewing — and creating — experience to the next level.

Since launching publicly in March, we at Omnisio have been thrilled to engage with our early community and build innovative applications that push the envelope of online video. We’ve been continually surprised by the creative and interesting stuff our users have built on the Omnisio platform – from hilarious video compilations, to witty (and yes sometimes over the top) in-video comments, to informative presentations with slides synced with video. The enthusiastic adoption of our tools has exceeded our wildest expectations.

Microsoft v. Primax: Patent Infringement Action with the ITC

MicrosoftMicrosoft Corp. late today filed a patent infringement action with the International Trade Commission (ITC), after making repeated attempts during the past several years to engage Primax Electronics, Ltd in a licensing agreement, and issued the following statement from Horacio Gutierrez, vice president and deputy general counsel of Intellectual Property and Licensing:

 

                                                               “Microsoft has filed an action today with the ITC after making repeated attempts during the past several years to engage in meaningful licensing discussions with Primax. Microsoft has an open intellectual property licensing policy, but in situations such as this, in which a reasonable licensing agreement cannot be reached despite our best efforts, we have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect our innovations. 

 

                                                               To date, more than 20 companies have licensed the U2, Tilt Wheel and Magnifier technologies from Microsoft as part of our successful hardware licensing program. Primax’s practice of using our innovations without taking a patent license is unfair to the many companies that have already licensed our technology, so we are taking action to protect both our partners and our innovations.”
