Barnes and Noble announced that there were multiple charges of excessive royalties payed to Microsoft for the right to the Android smartphone. This was seen as an attempt to drive companies out of business because of the rising prices needed to pay these royalties. Microsoft is now suing Barnes and Noble, claiming that their Nook infringes on at least 5 patents made within the last decade by Microsoft. Microsoft also entered a deal between Nokia, itself and MOSAID. The agreement was made that, because of Nokia and Microsoft combined, MOSAID gained control of 2000 patents. The only price in this matter is the fact that 2/3 of profit revenue from these new devices goes to Microsoft and Nokia, respectively.
