Wireless companies love suing one another -- well, maybe they
don't "love" it, but in an age when it's virtually impossible to
assemble a cellular device without extensive licensing agreements in
place, it's basically an inevitability. Microsoft has hit up the ITC
over a total of nine alleged patent infringements by Motorola in its
Android devices, specifically relating to "synchronizing email,
calendars and contacts, scheduling meetings, and notifying applications
of changes in signal strength and battery power." This should be
interesting -- will it result in a quick cross-licensing agreement, or
a protracted court battle spanning multiple years?
