Now you see why M$ brushed off standards

I'd almost expect Motorola to try to get the judge to narrow this (that is, ask
whether injunction is possible if Microsoft rejects the judge's rate). Getting
it back on the table even in that reduced form would be huge for negotiation I'd
think.

The logic here is that by agreeing to be part of a standard (SEP), Motorola has given up their right to injunctive relief.
Now remember the totally flawed "OpenXML" standard process where Microsoft was able to "standardize" elements that state "do this like Word does"?

It would seem that this totally wishy-washy specification then means that everything that Word does is standard-relevant, and consequently all software patents implemented in Word are standard-relevant and don't warrant injunctive relief.

Moto isn't barred from an injunction, the EU Court does not recognize the
authority of a US flunky making clearly prejudiced decisions.
