That article is terrible and perpetuates fallacies that amateur patent investors too easily believe. In response to your post:

One, the MSFT patent is not from a different jurisdiction. It is a U.S. patent. An INPADOC patent family search reveals no foreign counterparts or applications for US6556983.

Two, GOOG's advertising revenues in the U.S. have already being litigated. VRNG can not obtain a second recovery on the same revenues even with different patents.

You might want to do research into some of the basics of patent enforcement, notably those related to royalty stacking and patent exhaustion. Most every case law decision handed down has made this extremely clear.

And since we know the current ongoing royalty decision from district court covers infringement through expiration of the IPE patents in 2016, there would be at minimum of two years before any "new" enforcement could even begin.

This entire concept of putting additional pressure on GOOG is absurd. It's sad how an amateur blogger at SA can so easily convince retail investors to believe nonsense.
