Have you notifications on your Android will cost Google $ 125M
Google has been ordered to pay a fine of $ 125 million to U.S. SimpleAir because a jury found that reports of Android infringe a patent. Specifically because of the use of Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) and Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM), two services to send notifications instantly via Android.
SimpleAir available a patent entitled "System and method for data transmission" and the District of Texas jury has rendered a verdict in favor of the small business.
An independent jury will decide on the final amount in a second test, but at the moment the sentence is fixed at 125 million. Steep price but Google's lawyers have failed to cancel.
Patent troll
SimpleAir is nothing but one of those companies that troll patents against Google fight while. A company that exists solely to denounce others, the company has five patents under his name as ambiguous name as shown and use it to directly attack the greats. Whether Google or Apple, who also complained against and they ended up agreeing.
An agreement includes a confidentiality clause so that the truth about these companies is not known at all. A shameful practice and all you get is free advance ballast operating systems, Android or any other.
So Google, so that Google Cloud Messaging, messaging service, used by many apps notifications to send push messages to your device, keep it running must pay.
