Good. Banning sales because something like this would not make sense.

Have the Courts come up with a "Fair" License Payment and have them pay it. MS is willing to pay, but the $4 Bill Google wants is to much. I bet it will end up around 1.5B.


Last I believe, another court is working on that.

Probably not even close, Motorola will be very lucky to get even half a billion but in my opinion it'll be less than that.

This suite is not just on Xbox, but all products (Phones, Windows, etc) that use the codex.   Its a larger suite in context than the Apple/Sammy one that ended up being right at $1B.

Read the following, it pretty much explains why the amount Motorola is asking for is outrageous and why they're likely to get far lower (even the half billion I mentioned is pie in the sky that Microsoft would never agree to and I doubt any court would either):

Yea I read that back in June. 

I had added other suites that Moto currently has with everyone into this one.  Wasnt aware they were all separate not only in this country but around the world.  Eesh after reading through that again (and others that linked from that article) I am glad I have nothing to do with Pantent Law or hell any Law.
