In today’s news, it’s Microsoft and Xiaomi – two companies that are unexpectedly pairing up to bring more services forward to their customers.

  • A cross-license and patent transfer agreement is also in place for both companies.
  • Beginning in September 2016, Xiaomi Android devices, including Mi 5, Mi Max, Mi 4s, Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3, will come pre-installed with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Skype.
  • Specific offerings may vary by device, market and mobile operator.

    • I think from the above, the most interesting of all is number 3. Patent transfer agreement is a big deal for big companies, as any lawsuits regarding IP will be of utmost importance. What’s the motive behind this? Well, both Microsoft and Xiaomi claims it’s from the past where Mi Pad was using Windows 10, and Mi Cloud service were powered using Microsoft Azure, so they both took it up a few notches for this partnership.
