The effect of appearing to be untrustworthy in such deals is going to be that other parties will think twice before they do any deal with Google, and if they do one, they will look at the envisioned terms very skeptically and will in some cases insist on deal structures that provide them with greater upfront assurances that Google is later going to comply.It doesn't really matter that Microsoft is enforcing certain intellectual property rights against Android, and that it… [read post]

A year and a half after Google announced the acquisition of Motorola Mobility and declared its intent to force Microsoft (and Apple) into a comprehensive cross-license, there are no indications of Google getting serious leverage in any jurisdiction, while Microsoft continues to sign royalty-bearing license agreements with device makers choosing to address Android's infringement issues on their own.It was clear from the beginning that Motorola's strongest patents were… [read post]

Judge Koh found that there is substantial evidence in the record to support the jury's findings.In connection with Apple's multitouch software patents, which were found valid and infringed (and which findings Judge Koh decided to uphold), the most interesting issue is that there was indeed an inconsistency in the jury verdict because the '915 patent was found infringed by multiple Samsung devices running Android 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, but not by the Galaxy Ace (Android 2.2.1), Intercept… [read post]

For example, many of Samsung's accused devices run Google's Android, which would potentially enable Google, under the envisioned FTC deal, to assert Motorola Mobility's SEPs against Ericsson, arguing that Ericsson's assertions of declared or alleged SEPs somehow affect/target Google's software or services distributed by Samsung (the proposed deal does not require Ericsson to sue Google directly because SEP enforcement against third-party products… [read post]
