yes and no ... Google wanted it to stay in more understandable terms free and open to create innovation teaming up with them meant that all parties would have to agree or vote on fees and such Google would always be out voted and thus put an end to any other phone operating systems that would be better or compete with ms or apple

That isn't a response to Google's accusations. If anything, it's a rebuttal of the validity of the patents as innovation-supporting techniques.
It isn't firing back so much as spitting. "Crushing Google's argument," really? Someone isn't a fan of the big G, eh? Do you rely on hyperbole because you can't think of anything else to write about?
Oh, actually it just looks lazily similar to Techcrunch's Google Threw A Punch, Microsoft Fires Back With A Missile.

Seems as though these big corporations have figured out a way to circumvent being charged as a monopoly, by banding together and purchasing patents. No matter which way you look at it, it will stifle innovation.
Can you say cartel? Not that a cartel is a bad thing, look how great the oil cartel has been for us.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

This just shows that they will file a lawsuit in a heartbeat! However, they try to restrict you and me, by calling our lawsuits frivilous???

Don't forget about the Central Banking Cartel as well that has gotten the whole world into debt through fiat currency printed out of thin air.
Your absolutely right, I just thought the oil cartel was more identifiable to most.
They are getting bolder all the time unfortunately.
