Sina Technology News, March 3rd morning Beijing Time - A judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission (referred to as "ITC") made a preliminary ruling in December last year that Motorola Mobility infringed on one of Microsoft's patents when producing Android phones. However, the institution announced on Friday that it would conduct a broad review of the ruling.
In this lawsuit submitted to ITC in October 2010, Microsoft accused Motorola Mobility of infringing seven patents related to Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, involving monitoring remaining memory, upgrading contact lists, and synchronization technology.
During the litigation process, Microsoft withdrew two of these patents, and Motorola Mobility was ultimately found to have infringed one out of the seven patents in the preliminary ruling. ITC will make its final ruling this spring.
David Howard, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of Microsoft, said: "We still believe that ITC will determine that Motorola Mobility has infringed our intellectual property."
Motorola Mobility has not yet issued a comment.
Since it has the authority to ban the import of products with infringing behavior, ITC has become a popular venue for patent litigation, which is great news.
In the complaint, Microsoft stated that the infringing devices include Motorola Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq XT, Devour, Backflip and other Android phones and their related software. (Shuyu)
