Do you think that only Apple is interested in blocking the sale of smartphones that would infringe patents owned by the company? If yes, then you know that you are wrong because Microsoft is doing exactly the same thing but against the company Motorola accuse her of violating 7 patents when he built the terminals: Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq XT, Devour and Backflip. Of course, Microsoft requests the blocking of sales of these terminals in the USA, and the American agency that received the request from Microsoft will decide in the following weeks whether the company from Redmond is right or not.
We have a responsibility to our employees, customers, partners and shareholders to safeguard our intellectual property," Microsoft's corporate vice president and deputy general counsel for litigation David Howard told Bloomberg. "Motorola is infringing on our patents and we are confident that the ITC will rule in our favor.
Motorola Mobility was recently acquired by Google and the introduction of this request by Microsoft seems to be "on time" to get something from Google. Both Microsoft and Apple have filed requests to block the sale of some Motorola terminals, but for now none of these requests have been resolved by the courts/government agencies that received them. Apple does not hold many patents, but it is fighting with other important companies that have thousands of patents in their portfolio, but which are of no use to them in a war against the company from Cupertino.
