Speaking for myself here (and definitely not for my employer) I don't see Apple using it's patent portfolio to generate cash but rather as a counter defense against trolls. I'm just saying...

you don't have Apple stock?

Software patents are just evil. I recently investigated the possibility of writing something for the iphone but the patent indemnity cost for one of the key technology components it required was prohibitively expensive.


If used to defend against competition of a real shipping product I can see the value in software patents. But when they are used purely as a cash generating portfolio with no real commercial interest, that just isn't right.

I just don't understand why an enterprise level technology like WebObjects is a state secret. I can understand why consumer products need a level of secrecy to build excitement and not to cannibalize sales but WebObjects?

Mike,

Not to be harsh, but you are not going to get that. Apple is not going to make any kind of public statement about WebObjects NOT being deprecated.

If Apple had depreciated WO they would have issued a statement to that effect. They haven't.
