not to mention a tiny small insignificant thing called "Bell Labs"... out of which things like the transistor were invented..

Just wondering.. maybe they ARE indeed defending the patents... but they were not created out of thin air...

Yet irony has it... ALU is the sole distributor / integrator of Microsoft's Mediaroom IPTV software which uses the patents in question...

My 2 cents..

As a disclaimer... i do work for ALU.]]>Jun 21st 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 20th 2008 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 20th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 20th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 20th 2008 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 28th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Vorbis+Dirac for the win!]]>Jun 21st 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/Jun 21st 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/microsoft-loses-appeal-owes-alcatel-lucent-512m-in-patent-dama/
