   "Microsoft has been and to some degree continues to be at a competitive disadvantage, as it did not file for patents for many, many, many years," said Jack Russo, a patent lawyer with Russo & Hale in Palo Alto, Calif.
   
   That makes it harder, he said, to work out deals with other large companies in which they exchange the rights to each other's patents.
   
   Large companies like AT&T and I.B.M. "have huge patent portfolios and that represents large and unpredictable risks for companies like Microsoft," he said.
