Motorola has won a patent infringement battle against Microsoft over its video compression software that could result in Windows 7 being withdrawn from sale in Germany.



From v3.co.uk:

The German judge said that video compression software in use within Windows 7 and the Xbox, known as H.264, infringed on patents owned by Motorola and ordered the firm to remove its products from sale, according to a report on Reuters.

Motorola welcomed the decision from the court and said it hoped the matter could be resolved in due course.
