Ironic considering they were screwed themselves by the german patent system
Google only exists in its current form because of the antitrust lawsuit that broke up Microsoft in the 90s, forcing Microsoft to allow Chrome and Firefox browsers.
...and now Google is trying to stop similar antitrust suits into its own monopolies
Captialism is full of examples where companies/individuals take advantage of every opportunity, then pull the ladder up behind themselves.
Microsoft successfully appealed the antitrust lawsuit and wasn't broken up. To this day, Microsofts win is used by tech giants everywhere as president when fighting against current antitrust investigations. Microsoft always allowed other browsers to be installed. Today Microsoft tip toes around monopolistic practice's. In the end, Microsoft got a slap on the wrist and a were given rules they had to adhere to, which have since lapsed many years ago.
