Sucks for WinPhone7. They have quite the great OS there... guess Germany won't be taking a bite of it!

Another case of tit for tat, precisely the same thing as Sony vs LG.

In December 2010, Sony took legal action to block the importation of LG mobile phones in the US. LG has since responded with legal action in both the US and Europe, alleging that Sony has infringed a number of LG patents over Blu-ray DVD technology,

In October 2010 Microsoft both sued Motorola in U.S. District Court in Washington and brought a complaint before the International Trade Commission. Microsoft alleges Motorola infringes on nine Microsoft patents related to key smartphone experiences such as syncing e-mail, calendar, and contacts, and notifying applications about changes in signal strength and battery power. Now Motorola sues Microsoft over h.264 patents.

Motorola doesn't expect MS to pay "From the beginning it just wanted to win injunctions in order to force Microsoft into a broad cross-license agreement,”

Lol, do you mean the fiasco between LG and Sony about the Ps3 and the Ps3 nearly got banned from the WHOLE of Europe?

Heard it from somewhere.
