Microsoft drops patent hammer on Kyocera

This is the list for which they are claiming patent rights (links are in the article):

•Atomic operations on data structures

•Dynamically variable idle time thread scheduling

•Method and apparatus using multiple sensors in a device with a display

•Combining multiple java class files into a run-time image

•Increasing the level of automation when establishing and managing network connections

•Supplying notifications related to supply and consumption of user context data

•Communicating multi-part messages between cellular devices using a standardized interface

Some of these don't really look worthy of patenting and have never been claimed before by MS.
