While patents are often never realized, they still often provide a deeper look into areas of research that may otherwise not be meant for public dissemination quite yet. Such could be the case with a recent Microsoft patent, which is for "Optimizing Content Layout On a Foldable Device." While the patent isn't for a foldable device itself, the patent touches on ideas that seem to imply Microsoft is at least considering a foldable device itself. There's even mention of using the patent's technology in gaming devices.
