Microsoft Asks Judge to Block Motorola Android Phones

Microsoft attorneys presented opening arguments on Monday in a closely-watched case where the Redmond-based software giant seeks to block the sale of Motorola phones that run Google's Android mobile operating system. The software giant told the International Trade Commission that Motorola infringed seven of its patents and that it should be barred from importing six phones into the U.S.: the Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq XT, Devour, Backflip and Charm. Earlier this month, Google announced an agreement to purchase Motorola Mobility, a division of Texas-based mobile phone pioneer Motorola that was split off in January of this year. Microsoft’s case against Motorola is just one in a merry-go-round of patent cases involving most of the major players in the mobile phone market.
