STELLING DOWN WITH MICROSOFT that is very far from what happened. It would not surprise me in the least that four days into the trial that Microsoft might have settled secretly for $0 down and $0 licensing going forward. Because even this would be a win for both companies. JASON KATZ gets to walk away saying that they won, that their patents were valid, and have a (dubious) precedent; Microsoft keeps quiet, gets to use/license the technology for free and all of it’s competitors now have to worry about being sued, defending themselves and otherwise paying one way or the other just to stay in the game. Not to mention all those independents developers working away in their garages that might decide to no longer even bother.
