Is this PowerPoint’s Revenge?

A 29-page slide deck — made public this week in Microsoft’s patent lawsuit against Barnes & Noble — outlines, in great detail, the bookseller’s objections to the software company’s campaign to collect patent licensing fees from Android device makers.

According to the cover page, the presentation was given by Barnes & Noble’s lawyers to Justice Department antitrust officials this summer.

Keeping in mind that Microsoft has a very different view of these things, here is the B&N presentation, filed by the company as an exhibit with the International Trade Commission this week. See this previous post for the Redmond company’s response to the overall filing.
