The Bank of Japan expand ...
The Bank of Japan expands asset buys by ¥10T, maintains its near-zero interest rate target and sets an inflation target of 1% after its rate review. It's walking an easing line amid political pressure to set the price goal - and may not be enough to keep the government from intervening further in money policy. Post your comment!

Microsoft (MSFT), locked in legal battles with BKS and MMI, has agreed to license patents it owns that involve industry standards, rather than use them to block product sales. This isn't a huge concession, since many of Microsoft's software and UI patents aren't covered by standards. Likewise, few, if any, of the patents asserted by Apple (AAPL) in legal disputes relate to industry standards. (also) Post your comment!

In one fell swoop, the Department of Justice ended investigations into several smartphone patent purchases, most notably Google’s (GOOG) purchase of Motorola Mobility (MMI), whose U.S. approval directly follows EU approval earlier in the day. “The division concluded that the specific transactions at issue are not likely to significantly change existing market dynamics," DOJ says.

More on Moody's downgrade: Except for Portugal, which saw its rating lowered to Ba3, the downgraded countries all had A3 ratings going into today. Spain's rating is lowered to A1, while Italy, Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia are lowered to A2. U.S. equity futures appear largely unaffected by the news, but the euro has ticked lower against the dollar to $1.3154. Post your comment!
