In the larger context, that rate may be reasonable considering what Microsoft is
demanding in other patent suits against Motorola.

2.25% seems to fall in line with the $10-15 per phone
Microsoft rate, so why can't they accept the same rate they
put on samsung, etc?
or did they not realize this may open up the discovery on that
exact topic? the royalty rates they're using on phones? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It would still be effective for Google if this kind of amount would become a
kind of standard in courts about how to judge a request for money of a patent
holder. At the moment it may still be acceptable to ask for 2200 times more for
non frand patents. (If Florian has at least the numbers correct.) But will there
not come a moment that a request for more than 2000 times what a judge called
reasonable makes the jury start laughing?
Especially when Microsoft asks it.
That's the irony of this situation where Microsoft is confronted with both sites
of it's own patent strategy.

What rate has MS used on it's so-called "Linux patents" ?
Hmmm, seems no one can answer that, it's all confidential.
No list that anyone can compare to, just a shake down.
MS is not exactly innocent in these matters.
This should be appealed, and let business be business. The Judge stepped way
outside the lines on this one.
