Does Microsoft Hold a Patent for Implanting Microchips in People Named ‘666’?
No, Microsoft does not own patent ‘666’ related to implanting microchips in people. Patent ‘666’ was filed in 1998 by Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), now known as Digital Angel Corporation. The patent describes a method for using a transponder implant to track and identify objects or people. This is a type of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) device that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. Contrary to the rumors, Microsoft does not hold ownership of this patent.
Microsoft has, however, filed patents related to RFID technology, including a system for storing medical data on a microchip implanted in the human body. Additionally, Microsoft is a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) RFID Technical Standards Committee, which works to establish standards for RFID technology. The company is an active participant in the RFID market, focusing on developing software and services that facilitate the use of RFID in various industries. Microsoft has also released its own RFID development platform, the Microsoft Platform for RFID, and partnered with several companies to create RFID-enabled solutions. While Microsoft is deeply involved in RFID technology, it does not own patent ‘666’ regarding microchip implants in people.
