Sounds more like an IDEA than a patentable object.

Time for Motorola to get itself an injunction against this
import ban.

more double standards

The US decides the Germans cannot impose a ban on MS when MS infringe
someones patents
Then the US decides that it can impose a ban on behalf of MS when they have
patents that are infringed.

Patents that advance the art slightly less than my used toilet paper.

Do you USAians have any idea how foolish this makes you look?

On the face of it, you have a corrupt legal system that does no more than
spew the greedy self serving interests of a few corrupt corporations.


Or is that a bit harsh?

This is fantastic news for Android!!!!

As far as micro$oft are concerned Motorola are public enemy since Google
bought them. They hit Motorola with everything they had and could only
make one patent stick. That one patent will be worked around and then
Android has a clean slate as far as the itc are concerned. If the manufactures

stick close to asop they can't go wrong.

As an added bonus... Motorola can tell everyone in the EU that while
Microsoft is whining about Motorola's license costs for one patent.. In the us,

Microsoft insists you pay a huge fee to licence all their patents rather then
just
the one you need. Once the EU see the hipocracy they may be less inclined to
favour Microsoft. They might also object to the us demanding that Motorola
Europe not block ms sales in the eu. (How can the us even do that?)
