Microsoft Corp. is affirming that it will collect license fees from more than 50 percent of Android devices as they were under licensing agreements according to a blog post of company lawyers Brand Smith and Horacio Gutierrez.

According to the post, over half of all the Android devices have now entered licensing agreements. Last Sunday, Microsoft announced that original design manufacturer Compal signed a new patent license agreement with the company.

It is speculated that Microsoft earn more revenues from the license fees than from the sales of Windows Phone.

Compal is a third party designer and manufacturer of tablets and smartphones and generates $28 billion annually. Thus, every Android device by Compal will pay royalties to Microsoft.

According to Horacio Gutierrez, Microsoft is pleased to reach such agreement.

Microsoft sued companies that deny paying license fees such as Motorola -- its mobile division was bought by Google.

Search giant Google is facing patent-related legal battles against Apple, Microsoft and Oracle. The newest version of Android, the Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), has its limitations is avoid patent litigation.

Google posted a blog entitled, "When patents attack Android," as it claimed the victim part saying that attacks are "hostile, organized campaigns." Microsoft retaliated to the post by saying, "for those who continue to protest that the smartphone patent thicket is too difficult to navigate, it's past time to wake up." Microsoft does not just collect money from other companies, it also pays out plenty to protect itself, Microsoft's legal team notes.

Android is down on a rocky road as it faces legal issues right and left. It is also in the mess of infringing patents from Oracle over Java-related patents.
