When Microsoft acquired the Hotmail mailbox, what people didn't expect was that the first thing to get excited was not Netscape and Microsoft, but the fight between Song Yang and Netscape.

Netscape mobilized public opinion and threatened that Song Yang had betrayed Silicon Valley. At the same time, it asked the Communications Commission to regulate America's Internet advertising industry, which was obviously aimed at Song Yang.

Song Yang was not to be outdone. After scolding Netscape several times, Song Yang suddenly took action.

He received hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from Microsoft, which is enough to support Song Yang's acquisition of a large number of Internet companies based on the current situation of the Internet industry.

Song Yang asked Greg and Marcus to go out and first acquire a small software company called Vermeer. This company holds the development software and patents for developing the "front page" of the Internet!

Later, for US$1.2 million, he obtained two patents related to the generation and management of dynamic web pages from the Internet company infospinner.

They already had a falling out with Netscape, so Double Click would not swallow his anger. Netscape wanted to use Double Click to establish its power, but Song Yang also wanted to make Netscape lose a few teeth!

Double Click announced that it would sever all cooperation with Netscape and would no longer place advertisements with Netscape. It would remove Netscape from the American Advertising Interactive Association (IAB) and introduce Microsoft to replace Netscape as a director. Marc Andreessen also resigned from the position of president of IAB.

On departure, Erin Doherty temporarily manages the entire IAB Advertising Interactive Association!

As soon as this news came out, the entire Silicon Valley and the technology industry were all wide-eyed. No one thought that Double Click would actually dare to attack Netscape, and even directly drove Netscape away from IAB. You must know that at this moment

, Netscape is still the overlord of the Internet...

However, Song Yang and Double Click's counterattack against Netscape was not over yet. After severing the cooperative relationship with Netscape, Greco represented Song Yang and Double Click Company and simultaneously filed lawsuits against the San Jose Court, San Francisco Court, Houston Court, New York State Court, etc.

Netscape filed suit.

It accused Netscape of infringing on the "interactive network" technology held by Song Yang, which was one of the technologies such as "one-click ordering" and "one-click payment" registered when Song Yang established Double-Click Company at the beginning of the year.

Kindly, as for the so-called "interactive network", it is the action of opening a web page. As long as you do this action, it means that you have used this technology...

This technology is a complete rogue patent, but in the first year of the Internet's rise, America's patent office did not know enough about this technology, so Song Yang took advantage of the loophole and applied for it.

Now Song Yang is going to start the first patent war in the Internet industry.

Greco, on behalf of Song Yang, sued Netscape in multiple states in America for infringement of the patents held by Song Yang, requesting Texas, New York, California and other places to ban local users from using the Netscape browser to prevent Netscape users from infringing use.

Use the "Interactive Network Patent" and wait until the case is over before resuming the use of the Netscape browser.

The entire Silicon Valley was stunned to see Song Yang's magical operation. No one expected that the "Interactive Network" patent could be applied for. All Internet companies in Silicon Valley, large and small, felt the deep malice.

It's just an Internet company, and it can't escape the butcher knife of "interactive network patents".

The American Patent Office did not expect that the patent applied for at the beginning of the year would be such a big surprise. Even if it wanted to cancel the patent now, it would not be possible immediately. At least it would have to go through the federal court to decide that the patent is invalid.

OK……

Netscape also didn't expect that when Jim Clark asked someone to investigate Song Yang, he would know several patents that Song Yang held in his hands. At that time, he was still in front of the TV station, secretly laughing at the unlucky guy.

Hit Song Yang's patented muzzle.

But I never expected that the first unlucky one would be Netscape. Netscape was the first company in the Internet industry to be sued for patents. This made Jim Clark and Netscape a little annoyed for a while. It was really

If the "Interactive Network Patent" is enforced, even Netscape will close down!

Not only the "interactive network patent", but also the newly acquired "Internet front page development software", "dynamic web page patent" and other technologies, Song Yang is prohibited from using Netscape, which means that Netscape's browser cannot be developed.

"dynamic webpages"!

Dynamic web pages are one of the hottest technologies in the Internet industry right now. The entire Internet software development in America is transitioning from static web pages to dynamic web pages. The most intuitive change between dynamic web pages and static web pages is that the computer page code has not changed.

, but the content of computer web pages will directly change with time, environment and database changes, which is equivalent to being more intelligent.

The dynamic webpage patents held by several small companies that Song Yang purchased are only a few in the dynamic webpage patent library, but these are enough. Without the authorization of these patents, the Netscape browser and the software that are dependent on Netscape

Companies cannot develop dynamic web pages, otherwise they will be sued to death by Song Yang!

If these were just covert tactics, and Netscape felt uncomfortable but could not speak out, then what happened next almost made Netscape furious.

Christmas is approaching, and countless people who are still busy working before Christmas open their hotmail mailboxes as usual. When checking the received emails, they conveniently press the Fortinet anti-virus function embedded in the hotmail mailbox.

This function is a function that countless users in hotmail mailboxes press every day. Feita not only provides anti-virus for hotmail mailboxes, but also helps users find computer software vulnerabilities, remove junk, etc. It has become a daily routine for many people.

Software in use.

As for the people at work today, as usual, after pressing the Feita anti-virus software, a different scene appeared than usual. After Feita scanned the mailbox and computer security, a message prompting "Risk Software" suddenly appeared.

Warning, and this "risk software" is actually Netscape Browser!

In just one morning, rumors that Netscape Browser contained viruses, software vulnerabilities, and insecurity began to spread wildly among users.

"Netscape browser does not have any security risks. This is completely unfair competition in hotmail mailboxes. I don't know where the Feita security network company came from, but Netscape's browser is obtained from McAfee.

Certified and supported by professional anti-virus software companies such as Symantec!”

Baxter, who was busy protesting Song Yang's prosecution to the American state prosecutor's office, immediately returned to Netscape headquarters after hearing the news, and then held a press conference to angrily denounce that this was a malicious attempt by a competitor to smear Netscape Browser.

What does it mean to spread rumors by just opening your mouth and refuting them? No matter how hard Baxter refutes them, even getting the technical certification certificate of McAfee and other anti-virus software will not affect the continued emergence of rumors.

As for Feita, is it intentional? Of course it is intentional. As for whether it is framed by Netscape Browser, of course it is impossible. Today's Internet software, no one dares to say that there are no loopholes or program bugs. There are just more or less problems.

.

Not to mention that Netscape is still working on browsers. Even if Netscape's software has no loopholes, can the web pages it searches out be sure to be flawless? There really is no problem. Someone has a way to prevent the web pages from having problems.

This was Rashomon. After Netscape held a press conference, Fortinet officially appeared in front of its peers and also held a massive press conference.

It was said to be a press conference, but more like an official debut. Xie Qing led a group of Feita personnel to release an "America Network Security White Paper" at the press conference, branding himself as the "America Network Security Giant"

The identity was officially unveiled.

At the press conference, Xie Qing also responded to the topic of Netscape, and directly took out a thick document, claiming that it was the security issues and vulnerabilities found in the Netscape browser. In fact, these problems are not too big.

Some of them have almost no impact, but for computer novices, it’s hard to say how they feel when they see this scene...

I don’t know if Netscape was affected, but Fortinet almost became “famous in one battle.” There are not many Internet companies that dare to compete with Netscape. Fortinet’s popularity almost overnight, becoming “famous” in America.

As one of the latest Internet security products, countless users have begun to download the client launched by Feita.

The conference room at Microsoft's headquarters was filled with laughter at the moment. The dark clouds that had hung over Microsoft's headquarters some time ago seemed to have dissipated.

"Look at Baxter's expression, I can see his eyes are spitting fire..."

At this moment, in the Microsoft boardroom, the rumor refuting news from Baxter's press conference was being played. When all the directors of Microsoft saw Baxter's embarrassment, they burst into laughter.

"Director Gates, your decision to acquire the hotmail mailbox is really a wonderful decision. I have to say that the acquisition price of US$500 million is worth more than we imagined!" A representative from a Wall Street investment bank said to Bill

Gates complimented.

The credit for acquiring the Hotmail mailbox was placed on Bill Gates, who "turned the tide". Microsoft's skyrocketing stock price made Wall Street investment banks begin to regard Microsoft as "Wall Street's darling". Bill Gates returned to technology.

Emperor's throne.

Bill Gates was also in a good mood. He turned to look at Greg Maffei and Todd, who were responsible for acquiring Hotmail mailboxes, with eyes full of approval.

"It seems that our "ally" is even better than we expected. The Feita Network Security Company is also..."

They are all veterans. Bill Gates can think of all kinds of things when he sees the operation of the flying tower and the timing of jumping out.

Ballmer responded, "We found out that it is an Internet security company invested by Bruno Song in San Jose!"
Chapter completed!
