the gov't probably wouldn't do anything to help or harm the situation. i think the best way to go from this comes from apple's lawyer. if the lawsuit isnt merited and the lawyer filed it anyway, there could be rule 11 violations

The problem with that is the law is so easily bent you can easily justify almost anything.
Especially in technology.

You hate Apple for this?? this is ridiculous,
If you must hate something, hate the patent office who granted the patents.
Hate the judge who indeed confirmed this was a violation of license.
Apple indeed patented this, and used it in their software (check the mail program in macos for example, it will parse automatically date, locations etc and create events for you, it is sweet and very well done.). Microsoft did not copy this, because it is PATENTED, HTC decided to simply use the patent without permission, who are they that they can steal other's technology while other vendors won't?
HTC violated it. Apple has to protect their assets, what's the point of patents then?
See, same thing with the great instant DHCP stuff in macos, microsoft + linux don't have that. Linux is thinking about doing something similar to improve their product, but they are intelligent enough to simply not steal macos code.
Be mad at the judge, be mad at HTC that they didn't have the R&D to come up with their own so now they'll go down, be mad at the whole Patents/copyright stuff and sure, be mad at Apple for developing the technology and protecting it.
This is ridiculous.

You're right, there's plenty of blame to go around.
That doesn't change the fact that instead of trying to develop, instead of trying to be innovatitve, to keep in the market...they are sinking their claws into any company that they can.
They literally probably had their programmers going through code to try to find patents that might possibly have been violated to sue, instead of having them ya know...program.
It's sick. It has to be stopped.

It might be sick, but this is the nature of the business, it has been this way for years, and every company is expected to defend their own patents/copyrights.
This is the reason you would see other companies buying out smaller companies, sometimes just for a few patents, or get rid of the competition.
In this case, i don't know what Apple and HTC exchanges were, but normally it would go something like:
Hey HTC, you are violating our patent X and Y, please remove this from your product.
HTC says, sorry no can't do.
Apple says, fine, we'll see you in court and have the judge decide.
Judge says, yup. HTC, pay up, or remove that crap out of your product.
This is normal, this is what happens in pretty much any business.
I do like HTC and their products, and not a particular fan of apple, but this is simply Business As Usual. Choose to hate apple for other reasons please.

Do we? Don't most of the rumors still strongly point to Samsung?
Personally I dig it only because I like Google and want to see them armed with an arsenal of patents so that Android won't be killed by patent trolls. Never had a Moto phone myself but I haven't heard great things. Aren't they known for having crappy, break apart build quality?

yeah its still up in the air to who the next nexus phone is going too.
Well I will probably get flack for this, but here goes. Before you get all happy about this aquisition by Google. Remember who Motorola has been in bed with for the better part of their phone "Greatness" , Verizon . The original we're going to throttle your data, you better not be tethering (even though your paying for unlimited) , if we can't charge you for it you can't do it, we're going to control everything you do on your phone carrier. So even though it's Google new company, the employees are still the old regime. With the old habits, especially the Executives. I'll always remember a quote from one of Verizon's press releases stating " the Companies bottom line is always the most important aspect in considerations involving customers" . I understand this true for any company. But to say it in a press release like that says a lot about how they perceive their customer base. Yes, I understand this is only my opinon
No flack here,you make avalid point

Wouldn't make sense. HTC makes great phones but do not have the large patent portfolio that Moto has built up over many years in the mobile industry.

i live in seattle and googles from redmond, theyve been on the news about this quite a bit and theyve even said themselves they just wanted the patent portfolio to help in defending android and the developers against apple, microsoft and the rest of the other bull**** patent trolls.
I see where this will certainly help Google, and Motorola, with regards to patent lawsuits. But how will this help Samsung, and HTC? Is Google going to step in, and say "Get out of here, patent troll....check this out....PWNT!!!"

I'd imagine that since these patents are typically incredibly vague such as "scrolling menus" that if Apple sues HTC or Samsung over infringing on one of their vaguely worded patents then Google could jump in and brandish one of their equally vague patents and say that Google actually has the patent for it, not Apple.

just so yall know i didnt see a splash screen for this new motoroogle or googlerola or whatever you want lol (it has only been a day) so i decided to make one. I posted it on im.nick.hellos new thread for splash screens along with some others i made.
I just have to wait for him to convert them into splash img format and a flashable.
SO GO CHECK IT OUT
BTW: I hope im not hijacking the thread. I dont think i am because it is technically about the thread in a way. but if i am please set me straight!
Edit: In regards to the post above there is no real reason to buy HTC
1)they are doing great on there own
2) HTC would not give up sense and google would not want sense
3) HTC would be like 3X the amount that Motorola was
4)Motorola already had made the commitment to android and that was its sole operating system unlike HTC where they make phones for WP7 and Android.
4) Motorolas patent portfolio is much bigger
5) Motorolas not getting sued lol
Just my 2 cents theres probably other reasons too
Google did it for the Patents
I heard its to help cover their a$$ with apple lawsuits

I bet you don't believe in global warming either. Truth be told, our entire court system is that messed up. Justice is available to the highest bidder and right now, that's Apple. You remember Apple- the company that promised the Beatles (Apple Records) that they would NEVER get into the music industry? Yeah, that Apple.
Well, if you really think this is an injustice and want to do something about it, vote with your wallet. Vote often, vote consistently, and tell all your friends. If you like having attorneys decide what you can buy and how much you will pay for it, then keep buying your iPhones, iPads, and all that other iSh%t. OTOH, if you think that Apple has abused the worlds courts, and is spending way too much time shopping around the world for a favorable court, then do everything possible in your little corner of the world to lessen Apples grip. It has to be done from the grass roots my friends, you do not have the budget to take on the Army Of Job's Minions on their own turf.
