German Patent Ruling Threatens Microsoft's Windows Phone Earnings From Android
><i>we don’t really have a German or UK or whatever patent system any more, we have a European Union one. So this German case doesn’t apply just to Germany, it applies right across the EU</i><p>This has got to be false information. It was mentioned that this was a ruling of the <i>Federal Patent Court of Germany, BPatG</i>. Since when does a German patent court dictate EU patent laws and rulings? does this mean that if a patent court in another EU country ruled the other way that that is now the new EU stance? This makes no logical sense.
