Apple has Licensed Design patents to Microsoft

Apple Inc licensed its prized design patents to Microsoft Corp but with an "anti-cloning agreement" to prevent copying of its iPhone and iPad, an Apple executive Teksler said on Monday.

Apple's decision to license its design patents to Microsoft was consistent with its corporate strategy, Teksler said, because the agreement prohibited Microsoft from manufacturing copies.

"There was no right with respect to these design patents to build clones of any type," Teksler said.
