Salesforce.com CEO on Microsoft Suit: What’d You Expect From a Patent Troll?

Microsoft’s patent-infringement suit against Salesforce.com has drawn a scathing response from Marc Benioff, the customer relationship management software provider’s mercurial CEO. During a company conference in Singapore, Benioff slagged the software giant for filing the suit, branding it a patent troll.

“Patent trolls are part of the industry today; that’s just the way it is,” he said. “We’ve dealt with them before and we’ll deal with this situation in the same exact way. I’m just very disappointed in this, from a former leader of our industry, that they would do this.”

Benioff’s remarks today echo those he made during a May 20 earnings call, though this time he exercised a bit of restraint and stopped short of decrying Microsoft (MSFT) as a bunch of “alley thugs.”

His message, I suppose, is that Salesforce.com (CRM) isn’t much worried by Microsoft’s suit–though perhaps it should be, given the limited patent portfolio in its defense arsenal and Microsoft’s endgame here. As analyst Rob Enderle wrote last week:

Microsoft wants to set an example and losing isn’t an option. In addition the patents in question are key to being able to defend Microsoft’s existing market making the combination into one of the most important legal efforts that Microsoft is likely to undertake. This means they probably won’t settle, will fund the effort fully, and will do whatever it takes to make it successful.

Google Opens the Black Box a Bit

One of the longstanding gripes about Google’s AdSense platform: Publishers have no idea how much money the search giant is generating from the ads it displays on their sites.

That’s going to start changing, Google announced this morning. The company is laying out the revenue splits for both its content and search partners: Publishers will receive 68 percent and 51 percent of revenue, respectively. And Google says it will start providing more detailed accounting to publishers going forward.

Plenty of caveats here: The splits don’t apply to all the AdSense products Google offers (games, for instance, are not included). They don’t apply to big publishers, who get to negotiate their own terms with Google (GOOG). And Google isn’t promising to maintain the splits indefinitely.

But some transparency is better than no transparency. And Google feels confident it won’t lose any accounts in the process. But just in case you were considering shopping around:

When considering different monetization options, we encourage you to focus on the total revenue generated from your site, rather than just revenue share, which can be misleading. For example, you would receive $68 with AdSense for content for $100 worth of advertising that appeared on your site. If another ad network offers an 80% revenue share, but is only able to collect $50 from ads served on your site, you would earn $40. In this case, a higher revenue share wouldn’t make up for the lower revenue yield of the other ad network.

That’s a gauntlet thrown down to rival ad networks: Just to try to beat us. Anyone want to take the bait?

Ctrip Sees Challenge in Online Bookings

One of the biggest challenges for China’s largest online travel booking company, Ctrip, is getting existing customers to go online.

Though having users book flights and hotels through a website rather than a call center is more profitable, two-thirds of Ctrip’s bookings are done through its call centers, according to CEO Fan Min. That means only a slightly higher percentage of users today are going through Ctrip.com than five years ago, and Fan believes it will take another few years for the percentage to increase to 35 percent.

“Each percentage point is hard-earned,” Fan says. “It’s a matter of consumer behavior” even among Ctrip’s wealthier users, he says. Compared to U.S. travelers, people in China tend to book their travel at the last minute and “find it’s more convenient to do it by just picking up the phone.”
