[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1095716, member: 99014"] Some of them are Symantec property, some of them are Norton’s. When Gary Hendrix was abruptly terminated due to disappointing performance, Steve Bennet took over and split the company in 4 parts. One of them was Veritas, which was almost instantly sold. The other one was the identity business (VeriSign) which as sell was sold to Thoma Bravo and merged with DigiCert. Third one was Symantec Business security and the 4th division was Norton. Norton was a separate entity operating under the Symantec legal umbrella way before the acquisition and as such, has their own patents. Broadcom holds 1700 out 2400 patents. There was an agreement for both parties to use the patents, but it looks like Norton wants to stop sharing. A lot of these patents are worthless without the Symantec technology and vice versa as it is one connected platform. Both parties can rework the platform. Norton can use patents to improve Avast.
