The Federal Trade Commission has now approved a modified final order settling the accusations that Google's business practices (involving Motorola) stifles competition among electronics manufacturers. Most of these changes involved the arbitration process used to resolve disputes over FRAND terms between companies. The final document means Google must license its standard-essential patents on "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory or FRAND terms" -- something that Motorola had promised when it held onto the same patents before being absorbed by Google. According to the FTC, these patents were necessary in the process of manufacturing smartphones, laptops, tablets and gaming consoles and that Google had pursued (or threatened to pursue) injunctions against companies that required said patents. Read the full order over at the FTC -- we've linked to it at the source.
