That's er, nice for them.
I suspect the only thing they can do to kill them is to get them to shut down XBOX Live...

It won't ever happen like that, no judge will impact the end consumers with requesting a recall. Even so i'm not certain there would be any impact to UK users, as lucient might not even hold the worldwide rights to it.

yeah, they'd have to prize it out of my cold dead fingers.

Very true, they seem to like drumming up publicity, and suing huge corporations seems like a leisurely past-time to them.Originally Posted by Steve

Can you imagine if that happened? Tons of birthday and Christmas presents being forcibly removed? Ne-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver gonna happen. The consumers associations, amongst others, would have an absolute field day![]()
Well, that'd never happen anyway; but it's entirely possible that injunctive relief could be granted, preventing MS from shipping more 360s, and in the event of a trial going Lucent's way that the 360 could be pulled from sale completely pending MS securing a license to use the disputed decoder.

Not if the implementation uses Lucent IP. Then it would be anything BUT random.Originally Posted by directhex
The Lucent patent dates from 1993; it refers to a particular method of coding and decoding, which Lucent patented and which it is claimed the 360 uses.Originally Posted by directhex
As to Xbox 1, Lucent was previously sued by MS, who sought a declaration of non-infringement, which they got, but only because of a typo in the Lucent patent. It was made clear at the time that Lucent could get this corrected with the US Patent Office and then bring an action subsequent to that. That's what they're now doing.
I think that any company who tries to sue a games/console manufacture and then demands that all consoles should be (literally) reposessed has
1. far too much time on their hands, and is being a bit petty
2. is selfish, who sues a games company..(unless they've stolen your brilliant new idea)
and
3. hasn't really thought about the number of complaints that they will receive from avid 360 fans everywhere..
well thats my rant over..
They got round it by arguing that the definition in the patent was not what they were doing, basically they took advantage of a typo. Since then that loophole has been fixedOriginally Posted by Swafe
