天雷滾滾:谷歌希望從每部iPhone抽成2.25%
????最新消息:科技博客網站Pando Daily的MG?西格勒提醒說,去年8月,在谷歌宣布收購摩托羅拉之前,谷歌首席法律顧問大衛?德魯蒙德曾經在博客上發布了一篇文章。他在一篇題為《安卓面臨專利攻擊》(When patents attack Android)的文章中表現得立場堅定,義正詞嚴,堅決反對針對單個產品收取版稅。他寫道: ????一款智能手機可能會涉及多達25萬項(大部分很值得懷疑的)專利。而我們的競爭對手卻希望對這些令人半信半疑的專利再征收一筆“稅”。那樣的話,對消費者而言,安卓設備的價格會進一步上漲;他們希望籍此增加手機廠商銷售安卓設備的難度。他們企圖通過法律訴訟展開競爭,而不是通過開發新功能、新設備來提升自身的競爭力。 ????真是發人深省啊。 ????譯者:大海 |
????UPDATE: Pando Daily's MG Siegler reminds us what David Drummond, Google's chief legal counsel, wrote last August, before the Motorola acquisition plan was announced. In a blog post entitled "When patents attack Android," he took a firm, principled stance against per-unit royalty fees: ????A smartphone might involve as many as 250,000 (largely questionable) patent claims, and our competitors want to impose a "tax" for these dubious patents that makes Android devices more expensive for consumers. They want to make it harder for manufacturers to sell Android devices. Instead of competing by building new features or devices, they are fighting through litigation. ????Hmmm. |
