Or some ass who thinks the President needs to sign off some judgement.

No I didn't. I assumed it was the judge of the court case, in which case it would be out of the President's hands, but this appears to be more complicated.

But it isn't Obama and 60 of his advisors. Obama and his advisors have 60 days to review it. I'm guessing if they don't say anything, it goes forward.

Even if you hate the Xbox brand, I fail to see how this is lol-worthy. The Xbox is a huge player in the industry at the moment, so if stores will stop selling it, that's a pretty big deal!001011000101101

The Microsoft v Motorola court casethat's been bubbling away since 2010seems to be heating up in all the wrong ways for the Xbox 360 manufacturer, with a judge involved recommending that the console's US imports and sales be halted immediately.

International Trade Commission judge David Shaw, pictured, has said he believes that the importing of 4GB and 250GB Xbox 360 consoles into the United States (they're manufactured in China) should be immediately suspended, and that Microsoft should pay Motorola 7% of the value of any unsold consoles remaining in the United States.

Those consoles already in the US and not sold would then also be barred from sale with a cease-and-desist order.

While Microsoft obviously protested, believing the suspension of Xbox 360 sales would hurt competition in the marketplace, Shaw says "enforcing intellectual property rights outweighs any potential economic impact on video game consol buyers."

The dispute dates back a few years, and centres around allegations that Microsoft's Xbox 360 infringes upon five patents held by Motorola, mostly related to video codecs.

If the ITC's commissioners agree with Shaw, their recommendation will end up on President Obama's desk, where he and his advisors will have 60 days to review it.

Note that the ban only mentions Microsoft's current 4GB and 250GB systems; the fate of 320GB consoles or older, pre-owned and refurbished Xbox 360s is unclear.

It followssimilar action earlier in the month in Germany, which also relates to the Motorola dispute.

Also before anyone jumps on MS or anyone else for patent wars, note that people only file a lawsuit once the product is successful to get maximum benefit to themselves.

What you think immersion suddenly realised the 3 were using their rumble technology two gens after implementation.

Was it yahoo that want to file patent suits out on Facebook, you think after all these years they suddenly realise.

Patent wars is a dirty, greedy political game between big companies. They actually buy patents off each other to protect themselves, so they can file counter suits.

I think this will all blow over soon, personally. Big men with lot's of money will make deals, things will settle, and it will be over.

What I don't really get is that with all the patents floating around for absolutely everything, how the hell is anyone supposed to make a multi-media products that does all the stuff it's expected to do in this day and age, and actually make a profit, when you have to pay extra royalty costs for the rights to use virtually every single component and feature inside these machines.

It's no wonder these things are just getting more and more expensive.

Imagine for a second if a console manufacturer could make a console without paying hundreds of loyalty fees left, right and center and instead were just paying for even the tiniest little feature they were using...

I guess it's fair that the guys who invented the feature get their money but by God this is ridiculous.

Given that the life span of a 360 is less then 12 months will there be any functioning 360s a year from now?

Except that MS won an ITC ruling against Motorola only a few days ago regarding mobile technology. I think Motorola has a lot more to lose. If anything, the two will cancel each other out when they decide to settle.
