| Microsoft | |
| Software innovation is at the heart of Microsoft's business. With an annual R&D budget of over $9 billion, no other software company invests as much in innovation. Protecting this innovation is at the heart of what the Legal and Corporate Affairs' Intellectual Property Group does every day.
Microsoft views intellectual property as a strategic asset that provides significant value to the company and its customers and partners. In today's dynamic IT environment, a flexible, collaborative and strategic use of IP is the best way to promote innovation. One of the most important ways we facilitate this collaboration is through IP licensing agreements. Over the last six years, Microsoft has engaged in over 600 inbound and outbound licensing agreements. The result is that Microsoft's IP is used not only by Microsoft, but by start-ups, customers, partners and even competitors. We are recognised by our industry peers and the trade press as having one of the highest quality patent portfolios in the industry. We participate in discussions involving IP policy, with a focus on creating a sustainable environment for future innovation. We are at the forefront of a strong anti-piracy effort that both educates and protects consumers and targets the criminal organisations that are doing so much harm to end-users and local economies.

| Adobe | |
| Adobe is one of the world's largest and most diversified software companies. Its award-winning software and technologies have set the standard for communication and collaboration for more than 25 years, turning digital interactions into richer, high-value experiences that reach across computing platforms and devices to engage people anywhere, anytime. Its software is widely used for print production, web publishing, video, photography and document security.
When you buy authentic Adobe software, the benefits of ownership far exceed the software itself. With Adobe standing behind its products, you gain a partner you can depend on for technical support, important updates and future upgrades. You gain peace of mind knowing your products are safe, stable, compatible with your computer, and absolutely free of adware and viruses. You can't put a price on that kind of confidence. Pirated software exposes your computer to viruses, worms and system-crashing codes. |
