Novell Patent Philosophy
Novell is committed to developing a substantial and diversified patent portfolio. We can use our patents to bar competitors from areas where we are dominant by preventing them from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing our patented technology, thus increasing our market position and leadership. We can also use our patents as negotiation tools with others in the industry when they assert claims against Novell.
