IMO your posting is flawed and misleading, Microsoft gets money from Immersion Corp, Immersion Corp got money from Sony.

In some countries it would be considered anti-competitive to demand money through settlements with other companies as this complicates reaching a settlement at all.

Also I think the US patent laws are seriously flawed, lots of rewarded patents are rather meaningless, trivial stuff that has been applied for ages or embody nothing special or groundbreaking but for instance the original involved company which implemented this approach folded, didn't do business in the United States or companies deemed the technology implementations trivial and minor.

Regarding your personal issues with me and my posting history, yes I am interested in comparisons between the 360 and PS3. And yes those are IMO clearly to the advantage of the PS3 from a technological perspective. In any case I only try to post well argumented and as much evidence as possible in my postings, personally I don't see anything wrong with that.

Reading this post is mind numbing. Does anyone here have basic knowledge of the legal system...

 

...Obviously not.

 

For a stupidly simple example.

 

I was in a car crash, I got cash compensation, if it turned out in a couple of years that i wasn't as "damaged" as was decided by experts to make payout, I may have to pay back some money.

The whole ROYALITIES thing says it all, obviously there's more depth to the cases than meets the eye of a news article.

OK, its a crap example, but don't make stupid questions, its like asking a rocket scientist how he goes about making his buisness...Don't talk about stuff you don't understand, elementary questions and what not...its embarresing to read!
