In a letter to the IEEE and other standards organizations, Google has assured them that they will not change Motorola's patent licensing policies when it comes to patents dealing with global standards. Since Motorola owns patents that have been standardized they must give potential licensees a fair and reasonable cost and condition for using the patent, which is why Motorola's recent injunctions against Apple likely won't last long. If you don't remember, Motorola requested 2.25% of revenue from sales of 3G/UMTS-enabled iOS products, a figure that Apple disputes violates the conditions of FRAND laws.
