The impact of this MP3 patent award is much further reaching than RealNetworks, Sony, Apple, and Creative. Think about all of the products you own that have MP3 capability. Motorola, Nokia and Samsung make MP3 phones. Verizon, Sprint and other providers sell MP3s. Car stereos, DVD players, cellphones, keychains, and many home theater receivers (and other components) contain MP3 technology.
The final tally is nearly 500 companies that have licensed MP3 technology for software and/or hardware from Thomson (Fraunhofer IIS's licensing company). See www.mp3licensing.com for the full list. - Posted by: tpettyrox Posted on: 02/26/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
