		nekitamo on Sept 14, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Cost of the Uniloc Lawsuit If Uniloc wins this lawsuit they will have a precedent with which to sue every app developer on the Android Marketplace who uses the Android License Verification Library. Given how this can be a crippling blow to the Android Marketplace, I'm interested to see what Google's reaction will be to this lawsuit.

MS fought for 8 years and then settled.

Yes but not this patent. They will have to fight for a precedent like everyone else in the US legal system.
