Windows 7, which include Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player,
writes BBC . However, the prohibition can not be implemented because the wait in the U.S. court to hear the case next week.
Motorola says that Microsoft violated another 50 patents that had to pay a license. Microsoft responded that the Motorola licenses would cost $ 4 billion annually. Motorola certainly disagrees with that figure, a Microsoft, meanwhile, asked Motorola to have users in mind.
"This is just one step in a long process and we are confident that Motorola would keep its promises to standardize the necessary patents under fair and reasonable terms for the benefit of users who want to see video on the web." Says Microsoft.
The ban is currently blocked because Microsoft ja blames Motorola abusing its obligation to FRAND agreement that obrzuvaat companies to allow the necessary technologies and patents to be available to all others under appropriate prices.
