Microsoft Accuses Motorola's Android Phones For infringing Its Patents

Microsoft, the world largest software maker, has accused Motorola of using technology derived from Microsoft’s inventions in Android-based smartphones. Microsoft has requested the International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington to halt the imports of certain Motorola phones due to infringement of seven of its patents.

David Howard, Microsoft’s corporate vice president and deputy general counsel for litigation, said in an e-mail:

We have a responsibility to our employees, customers, partners and shareholders to safeguard our intellectual property. Motorola is infringing our patents and we are confident that the ITC will rule in our favor.
