Apple to receive $10 for every Android phone sold?

30 Dec, 2011, 10:46 am IST | by Karan Shah | Smartphones

We all know that Apple is going all guns blazing in the war against patent infringement (read: Android). Now, as reported by Phone Arena, Kevin Rivette, managing partner at an intellectual property firm called 3LP Advisors LLC has mentioned in a conversation with Bloomberg that if things do go Apple’s way in this patent war, there’s a good chance that they might get $10 for every Android device that has been sold. This figure is close to twice of what Microsoft receives from its licensing deal with Android manufacturers. It seems like Apple is gearing to become foes with a lot of companies in the tech world. 

 

Bring it on. NOT!

So, what do we think about this? For the love of technology, definitely not good, because these two are fighting like Optimus Prime vs Megatron! We, on the other hand, are peace lovers and have happily installed the MIUI iOS themed ROM on our Android phones. C’mon guys, just behave a little (no more patent infringements!) and let’s have a healthy competition here because if this goes on, chances are that one of you will only be allowed to make phones that look like this:

Hopefully this one won't infringe any patents!

Hopefully this one won't infringe any patents!
