Canon and Microsoft  have signed a rather broad patent cross-licensing agreement, allowing  both companies access to each other’s patent libraries. Although  the agreement covers a broad range of products and services, it could  mean that Nokia Lumia smartphones in the future could come with Canon  camera optics inside. “This collaborative approach with Canon  allows us to deliver inventive technologies that benefit consumers  around the world,” said Nick Psyhogeos, GM of IP Licensing of the  Innovation and IP World Group at Microsoft. “Microsoft believes  co-operative licensing is an effective way to accelerate innovation  while reducing patent disputes.”Currently the smartphone camera jewel of the Lumia range is the 41-megapixel beast found in the <a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/nokia-lumia-1020_Mobile-Phone_review" target="_blank">Nokia Lumia 1020</a>.  It offered 2nd generation OIS, 6 lenses, Carl Zweiss technology and the  ability to change the focus of your shoots after you’ve taken them. However,  this camera could be bettered by Microsoft’s newly obtained ability to  get access to Canon camera tech, including its optics and Canon DIGIC  image processing engine. “This agreement is a natural extension  of our longstanding relationship with Microsoft and commitment to  developing innovative technologies,” said Hideki Sanatake, Senior GM of  Corporate IP and Legal HQ of Canon Inc. Microsoft could also  follow in the footsteps of Sony and other brands to launch detachable,  standalone smartphone lenses like the Sony QX100. Such a  partnership is bound to have a strong influence on future Nokia Lumia  phones, or whatever Microsoft decides to brand them in the future. <img src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002ce62/ef14_orh350w620/Nokia-Lumia-1020.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
