Motorola Scores Patent Wins Over Microsoft, Apple
tlhIngan writes "This week is Motorola's lucky week; they've won twice in two separate patent suits. First, an ITC judge has ruled that Microsoft's Xbox 360 has violated 4 of 5 patents related to h.264. This is just a preliminary ruling (PDF) and both Microsoft and Motorola will face an ITC panel later this year. In the other case, the ITC judge has ruled Apple violates a 3G patent, one that a German court ruled that Apple didn't violate earlier this year. "
How can anyone hope to abide by copyright rules when even the courts can't sort out the mess!
Because as it turns out, German and American courts abide by different laws.
Maybe Microsoft and Apple should not have started the war by suing Android manufacturers.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
