My laptop has a 30% MS tax that I can only get back by returning the whole

| "Asking 2,25% of a device per patent for a standard that has more than 1000
essential patent and is just a part of a device is not fair and
reasonable."
Your premise is incorrect. Motorola is asking 2.25 percent per
device, not "per device per patent." [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Groklaw should not let Google/Motorola get of the hook."
So how does Groklaw do this?

I thought the problem was that MS haven't made any offer at
all. I'm guessing they don't expect $0 to be acceptable.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft, who abuses patents on technology they don't even own, and had nothing
to do with...
M$ patent licenses on Linux and Android come to mind... and we don't know the
amount of the abuse, but previous insights provided by B&N and others
indicate that 2.25% is probably low.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft is strong-arming anyone building on Android, nay even RIM/Blackberry
today, on its "FRAND" patents (FAT, ActiveSync, etc) which are pretty
much the de-facto standard - and are not even revealing how much its licensees
are paying.
Seems like a village bully bullying everyone into paying a tax for using village
property - just because he can.
If Microsoft can do it - why can't Motorola demand the same on Microsoft?
Microsoft is infringing on Motorola patents and innovation - shouldn't Microsoft
pay up?
If Apple and Microsoft's patents and "innovation" are valid, isn't
Motorola's also valid, or more so? They've been around for longer and have more
historic research breakthroughs than Apple or Microsoft.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
