He's ruled against Microsoft anyway

See news picks. M$ action could lay their German arm liable for possible
criminal charges based on an attempt to interfere with judicial process and
intimidate the court.

Jusrisdictional issues.
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 02 2012 @ 12:17 PM EDT
If the decision in Europe is hold up, but the American judge sticks to his
opnionion also, can then a state prosecutor in Germany take over and force the
decision through, eg forcing the verdict on Microsoft even if Motoro;a itself is
forbidden to enforce it by the American judge ?

It's a mess

The German case has still to go thru some more hearings on
other parts of the charges;
MS have an injunction awarded against them to not sell or
have for sale, ie. existing stocks must be destroyed;
Moto did not get an award of back royalties;
Two patents asserted are European Patents, EP0538667
filed 1992 issued 2000, and EP0615384 filed 1994,
issued 2001, and look to me like software;
These patents might or not have something to do with the
fact that MS got VC1 accepted as a codec for Bluray and
it was ignored by the industry in favor of H.264;
MS is claiming the US block on the German injunction;
Moto is saying they're happy with the German verdict;
The two black knights are standing apart shouting at each other,
"It's only a scratch".

Links withheld because they come from not nice parts of the 'net.
