I don't know about cynical but it is unusual for sure - Google is showing huge amount of trust in selling what seem to be important 9 patents - HTC could in theory dump Android tomorrow for WP7 and go suing Samsung using those same patents for example. Or may be Google has some crafty term of sale that prohibits HTC from suing anyone using Android. The other oddity is that those same patents are now off the table for any other Android OEM to use to sue Apple or Microsoft. Was HTC the weakest one and so Google felt giving them those patents was a balancing act and other vendors are having their own credible patents to not need these 9. We will never know I think. |
