Compare the Microsoft Surface to the iPad: They are both thin slate devices with black bezels. Likewise, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is also a thin slate device with a black bezel. But Apple is only suing Samsung. It was revealed today in the Apple/Samsung court case that Microsoft is licensing several unnamed Apple design patents for the Surface. This deal reportedly stems from Microsoft and Apple's long-standing cross-licensing agreement. There are some caveats but it seems for the most part that Microsoft is safe from Apple's legal hounds -- and therefore the Surface has an edge on the tablet market.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/CcqYwQIYu50/
