Plaxinator Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 if Motorola have their way; Motorola v. Microsoft: Judge recommends banning Xbox 360 in U.S. Apparently MS are infringing on several of Motorola's patents. MS has already been barred from selling/distributing Windows 7, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and the Xbox 360 in Germany. Who says MS should just cough up the royalties they owe Motorola?

gunny Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 If it is indeed patent infringement, then they should pay Motorola (as much as I hate this patent crap that is going on now). But they shouldn't ban the 360 and I doubt it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I was last aware, Motorola is only suing Microsoft as payback because Motorola was originally infringing on Microsoft's patents and Microsoft hit them with a suit over it. Everybody is infringing on everybody's patents, this is nothing new and it happens because patent law is bullshit. No need for Motorola to play childish games with lawsuits though.

TheRealClayman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 A little misleading. It's only a ban on sales of the X-Box. And the hearing isn't until August. i imagine something will get done between now and then. But like MJC said, patent law to an extent is pretty ridiculous.
