Microsoft woke up a sleeping giant named HPNN by entering a worldwide agreement with them. Money is on the way, go HPNN. $$$$$
I did not write it , microsoft entered the agreement with hpnn.
NO! I mean the worldwide agreement that Microsoft entered with Hop-On.
http://www.worldipreview.com/news/microsoft-signs-hop-on-to-licensing-programme-6268
Microsoft has struck a deal with electronics company Hop-on that allows it to license patents reading on Android and Chrome technology.
The global deal, announced on Thursday, February 20, sees Hop-on paying royalties to Microsoft, but the details are confidential.
US company Hop-on makes a range of products, from smartphones and tablets to TVs and e-readers. It claims to have developed the world’s first disposable mobile and smartphones.
Under the agreement with Microsoft, Hop-on will license a “broad coverage” of Microsoft's patent portfolio covering devices running the Android and Chrome systems. The deal includes smartphones and tablets.
“We are pleased that the list of companies benefitting from Microsoft's Android licensing programme now includes a US based manufacturer of affordable cellular technologies,” said Horacio Gutierrez, deputy general counsel of the innovation and IP group at Microsoft. “Licensing is an effective way to share technology and build on each other's work to provide valued products to consumers.”
Peter Michaels, Hop-on chief executive, said the agreement represents “our respect for intellectual property rights, and enables us to continue to provide cost friendly and technologically advanced devices to consumers".
Hop-on has an “extensive” portfolio of essential patent rights for mobile communications and computing technologies, Michaels said.
The deal means Hop-on joins more than 20 companies licensing Microsoft’s patents covering Android, including Samsung, HTC and LG. Microsoft claims that 80 percent of Android smartphones sold in the US and “a majority” of those sold worldwide fall under its licensing agreements.
Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing programme in December 2003, the company has signed more than 1,100 agreements.
In September last year, Hop-on developed what it said is the first disposable and fully recyclable smartphone, the Hop 1930, which sells for $25. It followed the company’s launch, in 2001, of the “first” disposable mobile phone. The company says the disposable and rechargeable phone market is a billion dollar industry.

Microsoft has entered an agreement with Hop-on (HPNN)
Hop-on is well known for the invention of the disposable cell phone in 2001, being named one of the "Top ten Inventions of the Year" by Time magazine. The disposable and rechargeable phone market is now a billion dollar industry.
Microsoft Corporation recently announced that it has entered into a worldwide patent licensing agreement with Hop-on.
I will be buy HPNN all this week. GO HPNN $$$$
Microsoft, Hop-on Ink Patent Deal
Microsoft Corporation (MSFT - Analyst Report) recently announced that it has entered into a worldwide patent licensing agreement with Hop-on. However, the specific terms and conditions of the agreement have been kept confidential.
Hop-on will acquire a broad license to Microsoft patents related to Android and Chrome OS devices, including smartphones and tablets. This will generate additional revenue for Microsoft.
Hop-on Inc., a California-based company established in 1993, manufactures and sells electronic products. It is also engaged in software distribution and supply of telecommunication services worldwide. Hop-on holds several patent licensing agreements for mobile communications and computing technologies and concentrates on expanding, securing and monetizing its intellectual property privileges. Hop-on primarily focuses on devices running the Android and Chrome operating systems.
In Dec 2003, Microsoft started its Intellectual Property (IP) licensing program. Since then, the leading software company has signed more than 1,100 licensing agreements. Some of its better-known licensees are Android device makers Samsung, LG, HTC, Acer and Barnes & Noble.
Microsoft is a part of the Rockstar Consortium that also includes other technology heavy-weights such as Apple Inc. (AAPL - Analyst Report). The organization’s intention is to enforce patents that are involved in multiple patent litigations.
Recently, companies like Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO - Analyst Report) and Google Inc. (GOOG - Analyst Report) have signed broad cross-licensing agreements that make it harder for patent trolls/patent assertion companies to enforce patents. Both Cisco and Google are part of an alliance called the Coalition for Patent Fairness that seeks to minimize litigation between technology companies, thereby helping to devote more energy to innovation.
Currently, Microsoft holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Ignore the bashers, buy HPNN $$$
What is the plan for Monday Mr. Gwinstock? Do we all buy and cover, buy and cover, buy and cover??? When do we all agree that selling begins? How are we gonna box out you know who???
Thanks for the vote, we are all on the same team, which is to make money. Go HPNN !! $$$$$
They have a history of being late with the financials.
IceWEB had some good deals in the works. I would imagine they are still working on those. When I last checked it seemed to me IceWEB were trying to do too many different things, I think they were basically throwing darts to what would land. But they still could pull out of this, all it takes is revenue. Question is, how can we get IceWEB to update us shareholders? I think shareholders deserve information after all we are letting IceWEB borrow our money. Let's go IceWEB, get us some news this week.
Go BMSN. It is looking great !!
One of the many things I find very positive about HPNN is that if you contact them you reach a company. HPNN CEO is also communicating with shareholders. HPNN updates shareholder info and posts news on their web site. Their web site is also current. There are so many of the other penny stocks that you cannot say that about. I tried to contact several other penny stock companies and they were no where to be found. I contacted as investor and then I also call several as a customer to buy product, and some the phone did not work, some no phone greeting, no answer, no email, most just did not respond at all, did not want to sell any products. Many of those other penny stock companies web sites have not been updated in several years, and no new PR. I am really happy to own HPNN stock, it is a real company. HPNN share prices are going up soon. You can feel the energy. GO HPNN $$$$$$$$
Nice post. That is good info.
I have plenty of time, just looking for other opinions and all are greatly appreciated. I feel HPNN is going to go up soon. I am surprised they kept it down so long. In the meantime I will grab more shares.
Does anyone else think this will hit .05 next week?
What is going on with INAR? Where is the news?? Any PR coming?
0009, 0008???
What are you all thinking for Monday morning, will it dip again??
No issue trading HPNN on MerrillEdge and they are very picky.
I tried to reach ICOA's sales department this morning. No answer, no response to email all day. I could actually be a customer of theirs but not if they won't sell me anything.
LONG and STRONG HPNN ! In it to win it. $HPNN=Dollar_Land$
MDBX went from 0-$93 in the blink of an eye. They have been in the $30 range for some time now. HPNN can do the same thing. Go HPNN $$$$$$$$$$
Lies Lies Lies. Could be, might be, CEO did this and that, blah blah blah. If the CEO or HPNN were a loser then Microsoft would not want anything to do with them. But Microsoft wants HPNN, it is public. It is posted everywhere. HPNN is a MEGA DOLLAR STOCK. You are right could be next week. Or maybe today. Everyone, buy HPNN Now ! My orders are in. Going to keep on buying into dollar land. Go HPNN !! Money come to me.....$$$$$$$$$$
Why all the drama ? Let's make some money. Go HPNN Long ! $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Dear SEC. I have orders in the system, please process as quickly as possible. Go HPNN $$$$$$$
Oh 2:15 PM EST? Great thanks for the tip.
What time today is HPNN going to hit $1 ?
That doesn't help....LOL
Seeking estimates...What will HPNN max to today? HPNN LONG $$$$$$$$
This is a $50 stock. Look at mdbx. HPNN can do that.
L@@ks like Bill Gates loves <3 HPNN. I see that as a good thing. BUY HPNN.
If you do NOT OWN HPNN then BUY IT now. If you OWN HPNN then HOLD IT, Hold it, hold it. Do not sell it. This is a supply vs demand thing, and frankly, I want the price to go up. Good things will happen. What an exciting day. Good luck to all.
