IBM promoting SOA market with its patents

On the week of 12 July IBM continued to attempt to stimulate service-oriented architecture (SOA) adoption by giving developers permission to use any IBM patent related to more than 150 Web services and SOA standards.

In the same manner that they promoted the use of the PC standard by giving away their intellectual knowledge IBM hopes to make themselves the standard for SOA implementation. The profit gained by patented rights will be overshadowed by customer asking for assistance in implementing SOA with IBM technology.
