In Europe the Microsoft FAT patent has been ruled as invalid. This is good new for all embedded applications where this file system is used (including Android!). Now, I have been anti patents, especially when it comes to software patents. Het key issue is that it should not matter who invents the idea (the way it is now), but it should matter most who implements, integrates and combines the invented idea the best. Right now the companies who used to do the most work for the invention and manage to keep the status quo are the winners.
