Preliminary ruling: Xbox 360 infringes on some Motorola patents
Bloomberg reports that the other two are about Wi-Fi tech, and that a fifth contentious patent was about communication between the Xbox and accessories. One of the Wi-Fi patents was not infringed, and one unspecified claim regarding one of the video patents was "invalid," judge David Shaw ruled.
In other proceedings related to this issue, Microsoft is seeking to force Motorola to license its "standard" patents on more "fair and reasonable terms." This preliminary ruling would seem to be a blow towards Microsoft's effort; however, it is still subject to review by a panel of six judges.

greedy bastards
True, but they are smart. They just filed many patent disputes on large companies, including Microsoft and Apple. They could make a lot of money from this because of how many people have bought xboxes, and they didn't make xbox change it earlier.
They may go bankrupt still but at least they gain another chance.
why would they go bankrupt..?
they make so much off of f1 racing and sports like nfl and soccer

TTG-DaBoMbKidd_Nazty this is Why the Worlds F***ed Up!
The right to claim an invention yours so that you cant get screwed over does not make a **** up world.
I bet Microsoft knew they were using an idea that was patented but still went ahead with it any ways. They should have bought the rights from Motorola.
Well, it being MS they have the financial resources to tie them up in court for years if they wanted, and probably will do if motorola really bug them.

Good to see you both adding a valid contribution.
Anyway. I think MS should fight it all the way, Motorola do own loads of patents BUT they should be more lenient. Besides who buys Motorola any more.
I have the Motorola Droid RAZR so people do still own Motorola not to mention that they also have routers, modems and many other good cell phones.
