Oh really? That wikipedia page says that Microsoft won on the MP3 related patents (on appeal), in part specifically because they had licensed MP3 technology from Fraunhofer's MP3 pool. (Getting your $1.5B damages dropped because you spent $16M on licenses is a terrific bargain too). The parts where Microsoft has lost are on user interface patents unrelated to MP3 coding.
