It may have been a bad day for the stock market, but one struggling tech company managed to get a little lift after announcing a partnership with Microsoft.
On Friday, Microsoft (MSFT) said it signed a patent licensing agreement with action-camera maker GoPro (GPRO). The two companies revealed little about the specifics about the terms, only that it covers “certain file storage and other system technologies,” according to the announcement.

“This agreement with GoPro shows the incredible breadth of technology sharing enabled through patent transactions,” Microsoft Technology Licensing president Nick Psyhogeos said in a statement. “Microsoft’s licensing of personal wearable technologies is seeing strong demand as we partner with companies from all industries to optimize solutions for their customers around the globe.”
GoPro has a rough couple of months after the company reported weak earnings in January and slashed around 7% of its staff.
