Q: Is the technology being used by TomTom something it developed on its
own, or is it outside or open-source technology that they're using?
Gutierrez: Well, it's hard for me to tell where the technology comes
from .. the case involves infringement of Microsoft patents by TomTom
devices that employ both proprietary and open-source software code ..
.. three of the eight patents in this dispute read on the Linux kernel
as implemented by TomTom. The other five relate to car navigation
proprietary software used by TomTom ..
What I mean is the patents cover the implementation of the Linux kernel
done by TomTom in their products ..
Each case is different, and this one is specifically about the use of
software by TomTom in its devices ...
