Android loses again in the IP arena How do you equate a Motorola loss with an Android loss? Most of the other Android oems have licensed the features in question that were developed by Microsoft and for which it owns the rights to. The license fees, covering large amounts of IP, have been reasonable. Licensing is available covering the myriad of components and technologies that make up a cellular phone, including software patents owned by Microsoft. MS is not trying to ban the importation of any or all Android products. Syl has a legitimate point... there is an incredible about of seething anger boiling over now towards Apple over their business practices as it relates to software patents. The comments sections of articles on this case are unusual in their volume and strong sentiment. Attempting to ban a product because it offers a pop-up menu related to the context of, say, a phone number in an e-mail? Samsung's lawsuits, like IBM's historically, have been defensive. Apple is the bad, well, Apple. What goes around surely comes around, in spades. I'm sure the lawyers love Apple. Perhaps the lawyers will spend more money on philanthropic causes than the pittance Jobs did in his lifetime. X-D
