Both sign a cross licensing agreement whereby each company may use the patents of another company. The movement of markets and new business makes strange bed fellows. This is the case of Microsoft and Amazon, who just signed a partnership whereby each company will have access to the patent portfolio of the opposite. This contract includes all licenses related to the Kindle reader and server technology, open source digital repository.

Details of the agreement were not disclosed and no one knows exactly what products the IP would be willing to share Redmond. What they have reported since the signing of Steve Ballmer is that this is not the first contract of this type and they have already signed similar agreements around 600, although Amazon privileges undoubtedly will be higher than the previously established any company.

The motivations for Microsoft on this collaboration could go for the improvement of its cloud computing and server technology through Amazon Simple Storage Service. Also access to Amazon’s e Reader technology could help Microsoft to develop a device that could make the shadow of Apple iPad
