The Judge said Motorola could not enforce any injunction the German court had
given it.
The Judge did not say Motorola was not allowed to accept any offer Microsoft had
given it :-)

I know it is illegal to bribe foreign officials, and the U.S. has convicted US
companies engaged in such practices. The penalties are severe. (up to $44M, up
to 20 years in prison) See FPCA. IRRC, this can be enforced even if bribes are
legal in that country. So the question is:
Can a US company be punished for conducting business in another country, which
is somehow illegal in the US? For example, selling products which infringe some
US patent, but don't infringe any of that foreign countries patents.
Is there a world-wide agreement for H.264 patent licensing?
