In addition, given their critical role in the industry, IPVision provides additional insights into the patent competition between Symantec and McAfee.This report includes IPVision's patent portfolio assessments of 20 companies to watch, including such firms as Google, Facebook, Verdasys, Symantec, and McAFee.
