Microsoft Makes $2B A Year From Android Patents
I knew Microsoft made a boatload of money off its Android patents every year but I didn't know it was over $2 billion. 
Microsoft is generating $2 billion per year in revenue from Android patent royalties, says Nomura analyst Rick Sherlund in a new note on the company. He estimates that the Android revenue has a 95% margin, so it's pretty much all profit.
