Why does Microsoft use Android hardware manufacturers to pay patent fees, and why does Google strongly oppose it?
The main reason is that Google bought a motorcycle. The acquisition of Motorola Mobility will help Google further strengthen the Android operating system, thus enhancing its competitiveness in the mobile computing market. At the same time, one disadvantage of Google is that it only owns thousands of patents and faces a large number of patent lawsuits, and Motorola's patent portfolio has established a strong defense for these lawsuits. Microsoft is also launching mobile phones with WP7 operating system, and there is no doubt that Google will be a big obstacle for Microsoft. Therefore, Microsoft charges a patent fee for the Android system (as mentioned earlier, Google does not have a patent, but only uses other people's technology), and promises that its own WP7 operating system is free. In this way, if the fees are higher and the fees are more free, the manufacturers will undoubtedly throw themselves into the arms of Microsoft and seize the market of WP7 operating system. Let's not talk about it below. . . .
