Google’s payments to Motorola / Lenovo didn’t wholly prevent it from preloading competing apps.
Motorola’s Christensen has testified that Motorola is the one that chooses to enter into a Mobile Incentive Agreement (MIA) with each new device, and it can apply for an exemption if it really wanted to preload another app.
“Even if it didn’t get the exemption, Motorola could still enter into the preload deal, that would just reduce the percentage of devices in the MIA portfolio, right?” asks a lawyer.
“That’s a fair way to say it,” replies Christensen. (So Lenovo is simply getting paid less for fewer devices in compliance, I believe I’m hearing.)
We are done with testimony for the day but listening to the judge talking to both lawyers about what’s coming next.
