Motorola Mobility is going after Apple in a new lawsuit claiming patent infringement in their iPhone 4S and iCloud product. Patent disputes are a dime a dozen in the tech industry and Apple has been one of the leaders in going after companies and manufacturers.
Now it seems the tables are turned. The company has been going after Samsung quite a bit lately, more recently wanting 10 of their smartphones banned in Germany. Anyways, it’s interesting to note that Google acquired the mobile division of Motorola ( deal still pending ) and could very likely be the force behind the lawsuits.
All in all, it’s a good payday for lawyers involved, that’s for sure.
“Motorola filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleging Apple has infringed on six patents related to mobile technology.”
“Each count in the complaint names Apple’s iPhone 4S, introduced last October, as an allegedly infringing device. Apple this week reported quarterly results that included record sales for the company, thanks in part to strong demand for the iPhone. The complaint filed on Tuesday also names Apple’s iCloud content storage service as an infringing product. The iCloud service was unveiled last year.”
Google and Apple representatives declined to comment on the whole ordeal. This could be the big G’s move to put the pressure on Apple who’s doing incredibly well in the smartphone and tablet market.
There doesn’t seem to be any sign of these patent infringement lawsuits slowing down any time here soon.
Do you believe Motorola Mobility and its claims?
