Motorola to USITC: Halt Xbox 360 Sales Please

[braneman]

I doubt the court system has had enough, mostly because there are probably patent troll layers that are making a KILLING through these low blow lawsuit wars.

The Ideology of companies nowadays is the following:

Come out with new product, project sales capital, sell product, then when the product doesn't sell as projected, find some patent(s) and sue some company(ies) "infringing" on the patent(s) for the amount of the difference between projected sales and actual sales, or more.

Business ethics...what business ethics?

Didn't another company try the same thing with Office 2010 or 2007 before? And they actually managed to force Microsoft to change an aspect of Office with that threat.

Lmao. The same thing could be said about you, FYI.

Yeah, M$FT also had to pay $300 million to i4i for patent infringements in Office 2007 (if my memory serves me right). They managed to stop sales of Office, although that was stayed before going into effect.
