Microsoft has just notched yet another one under its belt. After announcing a patent deal with LG just last week, Microsoft is not content with signing deals invovling 70 percent of all Android smartphones in the US having licensing deals. Microsoft went full speed ahead and signed yet another agreement with a manufacturer, this time setting up an agreement with Pantech. The perceived reasoning is Pantech perhaps wants to avoid any sign of legal trouble with Microsoft by agreeing to sign a licensing deal and settling things upfront with the Redmond giant. The terms of the new agreement have not yet surfaced, so look for further information to trickle out sooner than later.
