Title: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: Izret101 on May 23, 2012, 12:56:51 PM http://www.trueachievements.com/n8900/us-judge-upholds-import-ban-on-xbox-360-slim.htm
Pretty sure i posted the original story about germany banning the sale of 360s because MS stole motorola technology. This does not bode well for M$ Title: Re: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: NES_Rules on May 23, 2012, 01:10:32 PM Looks like MS will just have to pay a 7% licensing fee, which may hurt their bottom line for a short time, but I don't see it hurting them in the long run.

What'll happen for this? Microsoft will either A) Pay it or B) Release a new console that doesn't violate these patents, and recall all of the unsold ones. Title: Re: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: FireStar on May 23, 2012, 02:21:14 PM Who doesn't violate a motorola patent these days?
Title: Re: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: Izret101 on May 23, 2012, 02:27:34 PM I am pretty sure that % is not only for the unsold systems but is retroactive on all previously sold systems.
Slims have been out for over a year now. Title: Re: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on May 23, 2012, 02:33:49 PM I am pretty sure that % is not only for the unsold systems but is retroactive on all previously sold systems. Slims have been out for over a year now. It only counts for systems with embedded wireless, which is only the Slim models. Title: Re: Uh oh! Motorola vs MS Post by: Izret101 on May 23, 2012, 02:34:30 PM Hence my specification of the slim models being out for a year.
