I read an article on them sometime ago in Forbes. Back then they had 24 full time attorneys who do nothing but look for royalty enforcement. They generate a lot of revenue relative to their overhead and some in Lucent would claim that it was IP royaties that kept them afloat during the post bubble depression they went through.

In the early Nineties when IBM was starting to struggle, it was determined that they could completely leave the manufacturing and marketing business and lay off almost everyone and still pay dividends based on royalties for 30 years.

Most people don't know that IBM developed the digital encoding method used on music CD's today back in 1956. They get 3 cents for every music CD sold in the world.

What does this mean with Microsoft? Lucent really doesn't want the money (though MS can afford it), they want access to the MS asset & patent portfolio. Establishing a financial liability in the court helps them set up a negotiation position.

Lucent knows MS could afford to appeal this for years....I predict a settlement with a patent and IP cross licensing deal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17888165 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:55:35 EDT Re: Who wrote this snippet? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17887236 morbo :

It makes me sick that at French company now owns Bell Labs considering all the inventions and patents it is responsible for. They still have contracts with the US military. It's said that a U.S. board will oversee all those contrats but that doesn't make me fell any better.
uh, blame the greedy u.s. bastards that merged/sold with a french company.

it's not like the french mysteriously took over Bell Labs. place the "sick" you feel on the people that made it that way. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17886869 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 13:08:14 EDT Re: Who wrote this snippet? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17886841 clecssuck : It makes me sick that at French company now owns Bell Labs considering all the inventions and patents it is responsible for.

It is quite amazing the breadth of patents Bell Labs and IBM have.

Now, Alcatel could go after everyone else on the MP3 issue, which includes maybe Apple?

This was news yesterday in the NY Times.

"The judgment is part of litigation by Alcatel to enforce claims related to Bell Labs patents. The case was initially brought against Dell and Gateway, which make computers using Microsoft software. Other trials are pending for technology related to speech recognition, user interfaces and video processing."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17886630 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 12:16:39 EDT Re: Who wrote this snippet? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17886478 Karl Bode : LOLZORS READUN SLOWLY!!
