Peter Michaels, CEO of Hop-on, stated, "There are dozens of major OEMs selling unlicensed smartphones, tablets, eReaders, navigational devices, smart TVs and set top boxes into big box retailers that are violating Microsoft's patents on Android and Chrome. Essential patent holders have every right to seek legal recourse, and the US and European retailers are not immune. Those retailers are sitting on unlicensed products and receivables that can be subject to court orders to stop sales, have Customs prevent imports at the border, or even require the destruction of any products held."
