The renowned software maker Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has won a patent lawsuit against Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) after the jury favored Microsoft.
The case is related with the matter that how much payment must be made to Google by Microsoft for licensing its wifi patents and video content.
The lawsuit will directly influence the practices that tech firms pursue in pricing innovations. The legal bodies have been investigating whether Motorola’s patent licensing broke antitrust regulations.
On the other side the European Commission also investigated Google Inc over the issue after company agreed with regulators in January. The final decision will pave a way for another trial to find out whether the difference between what Motorola had demanded and the final price disclosed by the judge establishes a breach of its contract to Microsoft.
