Throughout all the patent wars and all the rhetoric Google produced about competitors abusing patents, it was <i>Google</i>, as the owner of Motorola, that was the <i>only</i> company penalized in court for actually abusing patents:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;patentlyo.com&#x2F;patent&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;agreement-microsoft-motorola.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;patentlyo.com&#x2F;patent&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;agreement-microsoft-moto...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Microsoft_Corp._v._Motorola_Inc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Microsoft_Corp._v._Motorola_In...</a>.<p>Sure, the lawsuit was started 2 months before Google acquired Motorola, and it was in response to an MS lawsuit, but the continued abuse of FRAND patents and the ensuing 14M penalty happened on Google&#x27;s watch. Literally no other company in the smartphone wars suffered this fate.
