Remember those patents settlements Microsoft and HTC had ? Well, seems like they are starting to pay off as the latest reports show. After HTC released its Q2 results, Horace Dediu, Asymco analyst tweeted that Microsoft would have got $21 million from software licensing on the 1.4 million phones at $15 per handset. Also, it would have gotten $60 million as part of its patent settlement at $5 on the 12.1 million Androids HTC shipped last quarter.
