Anybody favoring open standards should be happy as this verdict protects open
standards by upholding the FRAND promise the AVC/h.264 standard.
This verdict mean effectively that all standards made trough standardization are
protected by the technology promises made on them during the standardization
process. Now no participating company can withhold others access to the
technology for implementing an official standard.
It was Google/Motorola who were recanting on a promise made during a
standardization process by demanding billions of dollars for just a limited part
of the h.264 technology. And also demanding sales bans on product that included
the technology.
Even Groklaw should understand how any attack of Google/Motorola on open
standards is evil.
So yes anybody should be happy with this descision. If anything it would have
been preferable that the verdict had been for Google/Motorola to lose their
patent rights after recanting on their FRAND promise but this is the next best
thing.
Anybody oposing this verdict is likely against open standards or sponsored by
Google...
For once M$ made a break trough for open standards.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
