IBM, Amazon Chill On Patent Fight

Call it a TKO win for IBM, as years of jabbing over a variety of patents held by IBM and disputed by Amazon have ended with Amazon agreeing to pay licensing fees for them.

The actual payoff was not disclosed by IBM when they announced the Amazon settlement. IBM played Mayweather to Amazon’s De La Hoya and went the distance to score what was certainly a rich purse.
