Google and Cisco have signed an agreement to avoid patent disputes.

Google and Cisco have formed a new agreement to protect against potential patent trolls.

The agreement gives each party a license for the patent package of the other party, and also covers a wide range of products and technologies. Cisco talks about the press release on Tuesday. The transaction was created as a countermeasure of the “patent privateing” act.

According to The Wall Street Journal, some owners of patented products are trying to avoid legal battles by signing agreements with patent applicants .

Such actions are based on the fact that the firm can receive the proceeds from the patent and then share it with the patent holders. In the unlikely event that these patents were sold to trolls, they could not be applied either against Google or against Cisco.

“Our agreement with Cisco will reduce litigation, allowing us to focus instead on creating new products,” said Allen Law, Deputy General Counsel for Patents at Google, “We are pleased to enter into a cross-licensing agreement and welcome negotiations with any company interested in such an arrangement. "

Last month, Google signed a patent cross-licensing agreement with Samsung .
