Motorola has replied to Microsoft’s patent infringement complaints by filing a new complaint against Microsoft with the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Florida and the Western District of Wisconsin.
Motorola alleges Microsoft also infringes 16 of its patents that are used by Microsoft’s PC and server software, Windows Mobile and Xbox products.
The patents are related to most of Microsoft’s software and services like Windows OS, digital video coding, email technology, object oriented software, Windows Marketplace, Bing Maps, Wi-Fi technology and graphical passwords used in Xbox.
“Motorola’s R&D and intellectual property are of great importance to the Company and are renowned worldwide. We are committed to protecting the interests of our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders and are bringing this action against Microsoft in order to halt its infringement of key Motorola patents. Motorola has invested billions of dollars in R&D to create a deep and broad intellectual property portfolio and we will continue to do what is necessary to protect our proprietary technology,” Kirk Dailey, corporate vice president of intellectual property at Motorola Mobility.
Microsoft recently sued Motorola for infringing patents related to its Xbox gaming console.
