"no one would ever be so foolish as to start a patent war, because it'd be
destructive to being everyone in it"

That assumes you have lots of money rather than being "collateral
damage" :-(

Little or no negative effect

Indeed, if Apple are forced to stop importing, and crank up one of their
stateside factories, there could even be a positive effect on the public
interest. Altho' I don't think that's what Google means.

Well, well, well

Dear Apple, Still sure it was a good decision to "cry havoc. and let slip the dogs of war!"?

Do you love it,
do you hate it?
There it is ...
the way you made it!

If any significant part of this succeeds, Apple is going to have a huge bite taken out of its profits. Might not be such a wall Street heart-throb then. Of course Steve Jobs said he was willing to use every cent Apple had to destroy Android/Google. Won't trouble me if they lose every cent they have.

Cue the Apple shills 3, 2, 1,

This comment is by Fred Grott,

It appears that part of the strategy of Buying Moto on
Google's part was getting the chance to directly respond to
Apple in court. However, that is only one part of the three
part unholy alliance..

Could than Google obtain another OEM with valuable patents
to allow it to directly respond to Microsoft in court? The
no so obvious candidate is RIM..

Good time for a new approach - Blank Slate Hardware
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, August 20 2012 @ 09:10 PM EDT
Now might be a great time for hardware manufacturers to
consider a new approach to circumvent the majority to the
patent cases.

Provide hardware with a only a boot loader : Blank Slate
Hardware.

Until the customer loads third party software onto the
device, it just does not infringe on the majority of the
patents out there. The third party software can use the
abstract software defence - the software as shipped to the
customer in bits is by its nature abstract.

The hardware would have open & well documented interfaces
for free licensed driver to be developed.

There is already a large Chinese market in low end
Linux/android devices that could be documented and ship into
the USA and other countries as Blank Slate Hardware.

With all these patent suits going on, where is M$? I'd think
they'd be trying to hitch their wagon on to something. M$
seems to be laying low, perhaps, or is nobody paying them
any attention in all this excitment?

Please explain the relief that Motorola is asking for...

* Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930
* violation of Section 337;

The others look pretty self explainatory :)
