SEATTLE: A Google expert witness testified that Microsoft will make roughly US$94bil (RM282bil) in revenue through 2017 from its Xbox game console and Surface tablet that use Google’s patented wireless technology.

Michael Dansky, an expert for Google’s Motorola Mobility unit, testified on Tuesday, the last day of a high stakes trial over patents between Microsoft and Google in Seattle. The US$94bil figure he cited also includes a wireless adaptor that Microsoft no longer sells. It was not clear how far back he was counting past revenues.
