ITC Sides With Motorola In Key Apple Patent Suit
Back in fall 2010, Apple filed suit against Motorola alleging that the company was violating several of its patents with its flagship line of Droid smartphones, all of which run Android. The case was filed with the US International Trade Commission ?�a favorite battleground for these smartphone suits, as it has the ability to block potentially infringing devices from import into the United States. Today, Motorola has gotten some good news: the ITC has released its initial determination on the case, and it is ruling in Motorola's favor. The news was first broken by CNet. As the CNet article reports, this is only an initial determination, and won't become final until it's been voted on by the ITC's full committee.
