I just downloaded this file through a article Ars Technica discussing how the Chinese government posted a list of Microsoft's mobile device patent's before they agreed to let them buy Nokia's cellphone division. I converted the Chinese language document into English with Word 2013. Here's a copy of it. Here's the link to the Ars Tecnica article. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...osofts-secret-list-of-android-killer-patents/
