Thanks Darren.

A bit long winded for me but I found the following which gives the actual documents relating to the alleged infringements if anyone's interested.

They look to mostly revolve around methods of presentation and delivery of services on the "live" devices if I've understood them correctly. Legalese is not my second language.

Garmin 1695 / 255 / 760 w/MSN - Droid w/Google nav + Navigon - Navigon 8100T - Dakota10 - GPSMap76C - GeoMate Jr.

None of the devices MS complain about are Live devices, they list the following "accused devices":

32A. TomTom Go 720
32B. TomTom Go 730
32C. TomTom Go 930
32D. TomTom Go 930T
32E. TomTom One
32F. TomTom One 125
32G. TomTom One 130
32H. TomTom One 130-S
32I. TomTom One XL
32J. TomTom One XL-S
32K. TomTom Rider
32L. TomTom XL 330
32M. TomTom XL 330-S

It seems that the MS patents are almost like saying the idea of two devices talking together in a car is ours, combined short and long file names are ours. Bill Gates has patented the Creation and mankind.

Some of the patents concern Microsoft IP - eg. FAT used on file system, some refer to hardware - which probably won't stand up after Bilski ruling last year, but some relate to Linux use of claimed Microsoft IP.

Microsoft have been threatening to sue some Linux entity over UNSPECIFIED patents for about 2 years. Having not clarified what those patents are to date, don't expect clarity any time soon!

Have Microsoft decided that in its current state TomTom makes for an easy inroad into setting patent licensing precedence on Open Source?

THE place to follow this is here.

Go Premium X / Go 1005

, sued for everything EXCEPT their discontinued PDA software!

Perhaps microsoft will have better luck getting anything from them than us that have been robbed paying for the map updates and not using them because the application isn't up to the job.
So mote it be

Well, now my Map Update Service cost doesn't look like quite such a bargain after all. Perhaps a sweepstake on whether or not we get a new map before Microsoft puts TomTom below ground?
