Jury decides in Microsoft’s favor in patent battle with Motorola

The jury in a Microsoft-Motorola patent trial has decided in Microsoft’s favor, saying that Motorola breached its agreements to provide licenses to certain of its patents on fair and reasonable terms.

The jury, which deliberated for about three hours, awarded Microsoft about $15 million in damages — about half of what Microsoft had sought but also far less than what Motorola had originally asked for, according to Microsoft’s calculations.

Microsoft provided a statement, saying: “This is a landmark win for all who want products that are affordable and work well together. The jury’s verdict is the latest in a growing list of decisions by regulators and courts telling Google to stop abusing patents.”
