t leader in the United States and with that its getting some unwanted attention Legal attentionThats one way to look at the patent lawsuit filed Thursday by Oracle alleging that Googles operating system borrows from its Java technology which Oracle acquired when it purchased Sun Microsystems this yearAccording to the suit Google built Android using Java applications and frameworks and though it utilizes a workaround meant to side-step Oracles intellectual property Oracle alleges that Go
ogle is still infringing on its patentsThe issue has raised eyebrows in the software community particularly because Java is generally considered a free open-source technologyWhile Android probably was an eventual target of Oracle its recent ascendance has probably made it even more attractive to patent holders Android recently eclipsed Apples iOS and Research in Motions BlackBerry operating systems to become the top smart phone platform in the United StatesWhat always happens with phone te

s looking to sue it said Mark Driver an analyst with Gartner Oftentimes companies settle patent disputes by agreeing to cross-license each others patentsWhen vendors of this size fight patents can act as a deterrent on both sides The fact that Oracle has come out with a public lawsuit suggests that Googles patent portfolio around this particular vendor must be weak Driver said And if they dont have a strong portfolio that could be trouble in the futureIt could be trouble not just for
Google but also partners who use Android HTC one of the leading smart phone manufacturers using Android has also faced its share of legal challenges about its use of the operating systemApple sued HTC in March alleging 20 patent infringements on issues that include the underlying operating system That case is still being heardHTC also agreed in April to pay Microsoft an undisclosed sum and inked an intellectual property rights licensing deal to provide coverage for its Android phones HTC

Oracle case probably will not be the last said analyst Will Stofega of IDC He said the mobile sector in general is becoming rife with patent lawsuits as smart phones become an even more popular technology And Google will get its fair share as it leads the smart phone marketGoogle created this thing and it has deep roots in a lot of different things Stofega said of Android If you get someone good enough they can find a potential patent conflictBut most analysts dont believe the threat o
f patents will derail Androids success If it cant prevail in court Google may end up paying a licensing fee to Oracle which it could swallow or pass on to its hardware manufacturing partners It could mean charging vendors to use Android for the first time though that wouldnt be a significant problem said Ken Dulaney an analyst with GartnerIf youre a manufacturer today and you look at your choices Android is still the best option he said This is the only really viable alternative to be

selected Akerson this week after Whitacre told them he couldnt commit to staying much longer The board wanted to tell investors who would lead GM for the foreseeable future before it filed for an initial public offering GM is expected to register for the IPO next weekIn announcing the transition Thursday Whitacre said his job was done GM had returned to profitability The next task falls to AkersonWhitacre was the turnaround The next one is the IPO said David Cole chairman of the Center
for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor And once that occurs I think well see a transition then to someone for the longer termCole said he doesnt expect Akerson to stay much longer than a couple of years Appointing a board member to a long-term CEO position might have discouraged people aspiring to run GM he saidPeople like Liddell The 52-year-old CFO had that position at Microsoft for more than four years but then left late last year to expand his career beyond being a CFO Microsoft said
in a November statementIn January Whitacre said Liddell could be a candidate for CEO if he performed wellLiddell -- whose rsum includes a stint as CEO of Carter Holt Harvey a wood- and paper-products company in his native New Zealand -- must keep GMs financials in shape through the IPO and any subsequent stock offerings said Joe Phillippi principal of AutoTrends Consulting in New Jersey And to pass his test as CFO Liddell must ensure GM has an investment-grade credit rating (New G
