Microsoft alleges Google, Motorola's Android phones infringe its mapping patent
Microsoft is suing Motorola Mobility in Germany over a mapping patent
Microsoft is suing Motorola Mobility in Germany over a mapping patent that Microsoft alleges covers the Google Maps app that ships on Motorola phones. The two parties met each other in the regional court of Munich on Thursday, where Microsoft announced it would also sue Google over the same patent.
According to Microsoft, some products sold by Google-owned Motorola Mobility infringe on a patent that describes a method of obtaining the map from one database, resource information such as Starbucks locations from a second database, and overlaying the two sets of data. A technique like this is used in Google Maps, which is installed on Motorola's Android devices.
