專利案勝訴 宏達電獲賠1.3億

2015年08月01日    【蘋果日報陳俐妏╱台北報導】

宏達電（2498）專利訴訟陳年舊案獲賠償，外電報導指出，2012年對宏達電提告的專利授權公司 Intellect Wireless，其專利有不實陳述，因此專利授權公司的律師將支付宏達電410萬美元（約1.3億台幣）的法律費用。

據了解，當年該訴訟案主要是 Intellect Wireless 狀告宏達電侵犯其專利，包括：來電顯示 ID、簡訊和影音等專利，但在獲取專利的審理過程中，律師對美國專利商標局作出為取得專利的不實陳述，因此駁回專利訴訟，判宏達電勝訴。

8月11日進行除息

宏達電後續也向原告及其代表事務所求償訴訟產生的費用，請求相關律師賠償費用。今年1月芝加哥地方法院裁定，Intellect Wireless 委任的律師事務所 Niro Haller & Niro 其負責人與合夥人，須支付宏達電訴訟產生的律師費用，上周裁定金額為410萬美元。

宏達電昨回應表示，對法院最終判決感到欣慰，將立即向 Intellect Wireless 及相關代表律師事務所，針對該訴訟所產生約410萬美元進行求償。宏達電將於8月6日舉行法說，11日進行除息，本季展望將是觀察重點，昨天股價下跌2.9元，跌幅4.02%，收69.3元。

阿里巴巴娛樂化 吸血鬼開戰

攜手美商獅門影業 機上盒推電影串流服務

2014年07月16日  【蘋果日報于倩若╱綜合外電報導】

中國網路收視族群愈來愈壯大，更多年輕人喜歡上網收看電視劇、電影等，促使中國電子商務巨擘阿里巴巴集團積極跨足娛樂業，阿里巴巴宣布與美國電影公司獅門影業（LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT）達成合作協議，將授權阿里巴巴機上盒播放熱門《暮光之城》吸血鬼系列影片和電視劇《廣告狂人》等電影與影集。

據《華爾街日報》指出，阿里巴巴與獅門合作，透過阿里巴巴機上盒推出電影串流服務，讓用戶收看好萊塢電影與美國電視節目，意味阿里巴巴正在大力進軍娛樂業，以搶佔中國網路消費下一個快速成長的市場，與獅門合作關係將有助擴大阿里巴巴的娛樂業務。 據熟悉內情人士透露，阿里巴巴的計劃範圍很廣，包括入股中國製片公司、代理原創內容及購買國內外影視劇播出權等等。

估8月在美IPO

獅門影業全球電視及數位發行總裁帕克（Jim Packer）表示，阿里巴巴在中國佔主導地位，觸及上千萬名消費者，獅門影業數年前就開始授權中國網絡服務平台播放其影片，但這是第1次策劃播出自己選擇的影視劇。據知情人士透露，獅門與阿里巴巴沒有資本合作的計劃。分析師指出，娛樂業順理成章地成為阿里巴巴的下一個戰場，阿里巴巴和騰訊等國內競爭對手，正試圖尋找新的收入來源，讓中國消費者打開荷包。

去年阿里巴巴旗下購物網站經手業務金額達2,480億美元，目前正準備在美國IPO（Initial Public Offering，首次公開發行），時間可能在8月，市場估計，阿里巴巴市值達到1,680億美元。

中國電影收入增

阿里巴巴今年6月斥資逾8億美元收購中資製片公司文化中國傳播集團的多數股權，該公司隨後更名為阿里巴巴影業集團。今年4月，阿里巴巴宣布與網路電視運營商、擁有許可證的華數數字電視傳媒集團合作。去年，華數和阿里巴巴聯合發布1款電視機上盒，該產品採用阿里巴巴開發的操作系統。阿里巴巴還有天貓品牌的機上盒。

媒體業資深人士兼投資人施洛斯（Peter Schloss）說，這是一場你死我活的網路霸權之爭，誰都想贏得中國消費者的芳心與荷包。中國在2012年成為僅次於美國的全球第2大電影市場。研究公司藝恩（Entgroup）的數據顯示，今年中國包括票房在內的電影市場收入預計將成長33%至59.4億美元，是2009年總額的6倍以上。同時，中國逾6億網民愈來愈常觀看線上影片，尤其是透過智慧手機。

阿里巴巴今年來跨足娛樂業行動
1月：擴增智慧手機應用軟體的行動遊戲
3月：成立娛樂寶，另以8億美元收購文化中國傳播集團6成股權
4月：斥資12.2億美元收購優酷土豆股權；另入股華數傳媒
6月：文化中國傳播集團宣布更名為阿里巴巴影業集團，中國影星李連杰出任董事，與東方衛視簽約合作製作《中國夢之聲》等熱門節目
7月：與獅門合作，透過阿里巴巴機上盒推出電影串流服務

Who Benefits From Missing Flight 370?

March 25, 2014  By Shepard Ambellas

Rothschild owned Blackstone Group benefits from missing flight 370, becoming primary patent holder of new technology, reports say.  In this bizarre case of the missing Malaysian airliner, one plus one is starting to equal two.

Update April 4, 2014 12:31 AM EST: The passengers listed as patent holders in this article do not appear on the flight manifest released by Malaysian authorities. One of the first news sources to report the patent holder information was Express.co.uk. It is not yet known whether the manifest has been altered or if these people simply did not appear on the flight.

AUSTIN (INTELLIHUB) — New information, fact checked by Intellihub News, may shed some light on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight which was recently reported by Malaysian officials to have ended tragically in the Indian Ocean despite the lack of physical evidence.

While the disappearance of MH370 which had 239 people aboard is tragic, new bombshell information reveals that a Texas-based technology giant, Freescale Semiconductor Ltd., may have benefited in some way from the missing airliner which was reported to have been carrying 20 of Freescale’s employees. Although it’s obvious the loss of human life likely saddened employees and co-workers of Freescale, the possibility still remains that higher-ups in the corporation may have benefitted from the event.

“Freescale previously confirmed that the 20 employees — 12 from Malaysia and eight from China — were among 239 people on flight MH370. The company has not released the names of those employees, and again declined to do so on Monday.”, as reported by Brian Gaar, the American Statesman, Mar. 24.  It has also been mentioned in a statement by a company spokesperson that the employees who were aboard MH370, were extremely talented and valuable in the technological field.

Freescale Semiconductor Ltd. is primarily owned by the Blackstone Group, i.e. Lord Jacob Rothschild, the same group responsible for spraying the highly-toxic Corexit 500A into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the months following the BP oil spill as reported early on by Intelihub News. Shockingly, we also see the Carlyle Group listed as a secondary investor adding another layer of suspicion for investigators.

The official entry listed under Freescale Semiconductor’s “financials” section on Wikipedia states:

On September 15, 2006, Freescale agreed to a $17.6 billion buyout by a consortium led by Blackstone Group and its co-investors, Carlyle Group, TPG Capital, and Permira. The buyout offer was accepted on November 13, 2006 following a vote by company shareholders. The purchase, which closed on December 1, 2006, was the largest private buyout of a technology company until the Dell buyout of 2013 and is one of the ten largest buyouts of all time.

As a journalist, I have to point out the vast amount of monies invested into this technology firm. It’s not like $17.9B is a drop in the bucket by any means, likely signifying the true importance of this corporation. I also have to question why so many Freescale employees were on the same flight at the same time, as four of them were reported by several sources to have been U.S. patent holders of a new technology. This would likely have been a breach of protocol, but at the least a costly oversight.

In fact it’s been reported by some that Peidong Wang, Zhijun Chen, Zhihong Cheng, and Li Ying, Freescale employees from China who were said to have been onboard flight 370, were each 20% holders of U.S. Patent #US008671381B1. Shockingly, the remaining 20% has been reported to be held by Freescale Semiconductor Ltd., which now after the disappearance of flight 370 becomes the sole patent holder. In laymen’s terms, Lord Jacob Rothschild is now the patent holder by virtue of invested interest into Freescale Semiconductor Ltd.

To bring things further into perspective, putting the icing on the cake, the Rothschild dynasty owns the Malaysian Central Bank which in-turn is heavily invested into the Malaysian government and Malaysian Airlines.

Need I say more?
