Microsoft files Milo and Kate patent

milo1b1

Microsoft has filed a patent for Peter Molyneux’s Project Natal project, Milo and Kate.


The amazing E3 demonstration was believed to be a tech demo only, but Superannuation speculates this patent could mean Milo and Kate will indeed be a commercial product.

Time will tell.

It’s a trademark, not a patent.

The two are different things.
