The idea of a video codec isn't patentable. But the exact way you made it is. They have unique lines of code that they had to write themselves, probably took a team of guys and a year or so. I don't know the exact time it takes for this kind of stuff but still. It's not the idea of a video codec, it's the fact that M$ stole the video codec that Motorola made uniquely along with the wifi technology that motorola made.
You can't patent gravity but if you find a way to make a device to make your own gravity you can patent that. General ideas can't be patented. Learn the copyright laws.
Motorola probably asked M$ to pay the money that was due and they probably said "bitch please" so motorola probably sued after negotiations failed. They are in the right to sue. M$ stole from them.

I was thinking about that specific codec.
"General" is a word which will never determine anything exactly, its a BS.
They not stole it, they copied it. I dont see that they took anything which occupies space and time from Motorola and I bet Motorola still has the codec code, so its not stolen.
And for a fact you could never really prove that they copied it. There is certain chance that they developed exactly the same code, even though it has low chance, but its not something that isnt possible.
I have "device" to make gravity... anything with high mass. (even though nobody has seen gravity in action...) (I think I will patent myself, I am bit fat, I am sure I make more gravity than the air around me)

You already mentioned earlier in the thread that you were ignorant of what the patent was about, and judging from this post you still don't, so why do you continue to spout bullshit? Go read.
You just said it. If they copied it on accident it's still plagiarism. It's like saying if I accidentally wrote my essay the exact same as someone else then it's fine. It's not fine and a university would throw me out. So there are consequences.
New link with more information. Four out of five patents the judge ruled. So ya, it's not just two things, it's four.
Also I've been looking into some stuff and video codecs are software right? So you nay sayers are basically saying it's fine to copyright the software called Windows 7 but not a video codec. At the end of the day Microsoft was in the wrong and that's all that matters. Just be happy it's not as bad as Germany, they got rid of Windows and Office,I think it was office, along with 360.
@Keyeszx: Go
yeah its obvious they copied it and its obvious that MS would do the same against Motorolla.
I just want to say that copyright is something that goes against common sense...
