Microsoft follows Apple with legal victory over Android

Another day, another legal win by a member of the anti-Android axis. Just a day after Apple notched a legal victory against HTC, a maker of smartphones based on Google’s Android operating system, the United States International Trade Commission issued a preliminary ruling finding that Motorola Mobility Holdings was violating a Microsoft patent with its mobile products. The ruling by an ITC judge still needs to be reviewed by a six-member commission, which can chose to reverse the judge’s preliminary decision.

Motorola portrayed the ruling as a victory for the company, since the judge tossed out six of seven patents that Microsoft had accused Motorola of violating in its original complaint with the ITC. But Motorola could still face an injunction — called an “exclusion order,” in the lingo of the ITC — that would force it to make changes to its smartphones and tablets so it no longer infringes on Microsoft’s patent.
