Microsoft co-founder sues Google, Apple among othersMicrosoft Corp co-founder Paul Allen's Interval Licensing filed a lawsuit accusing 11 major corporations, including Apple, Google and Facebook, of infringing on its Internet search patents. The company is asserting four patents against a cluster of defendants, including also AOL, eBay, Facebook, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo and Google's YouTube, according to the suit. Allen co-founded Interval, which said in a press release that its patents were fundamental to e-commerce and search.
"This lawsuit is necessary to protect our investment in innovation," spokesman David Postman said. "We are not asserting patents that other companies have filed, nor are we buying patents originally assigned to someone else. These are patents developed by and for Interval." Facebook said it will fight the accusations. AOL, Office Depot, Netflix and OfficeMax declined to comment. The other companies were not immediately available for comment.Tech Mahindra CEO Sanjay Kalra quits firm after six years.In an unexpected development, Tech Mahindra CEO Sanjay Kalra has resigned from the firm after spending around six years in its management. Vineet Nayyar, who is the vice-chairman, will take over the operational responsibilities of CEO, the company said in a late announcement on Friday. Mr Nayyar himself was set to retire last year but was prevailed on to stay and given an extension of his term. 
RCOM eyes strategic tie-up with Motorola, HP, Intel.NEW DELHI: Reliance Communications is planning to rope in strategic partners for its infrastructure and technology innovation unit for 3G mobile business, and is in discussions with global players like Motorola and HP. Sources said that discussions are also being held with likes of Intel and Sony. RCOM, Anil Ambani group's telecom arm, is looking for partners in its 3G Innovation Lab, which has been set up as an end-to-end wireless network infrastructure and new technology provider for high-speed 3G (third generation) mobile services. Sources said RCOM will also let out the services of the Lab to other operators and service providers to further monetise its investment in this newly set-up unit.
This could be part of RCOM's plans to raise funds for launch and expansion of its 3G services, for which it has made large investments, they added. The company paid more than Rs 8,500 crore for securing the spectrum (radio waves) to offer 3G mobile services and analysts have estimated that more than Rs 5,000 crore could be required for rolling out the networks. RCOM is planning to launch 3G services by the end of this year, subject to the release of spectrum next month. The Lab has been set up at Reliance ADA Group's Headquarters in DhirubhaiAmbani Knowledge City, NaviMumbai.RCOM has won 3G spectrum in 13 circles, including key ones like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata .
