U.S. trade panel remands Motorola Mobility case
Reuters –
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. trade panel has decided to defer a final ruling on a complaint filed by Google unit Motorola Mobility accusing Microsoft of infringing its patents to make its popular Xbox.
A judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in April that Microsoft infringed four patents owned by Motorola Mobility, now a Google unit, but did not infringe on a fifth named in the complaint.
The full commission said on Friday that it would send the case back to the judge for reconsideration. That reconsideration will likely take months. A final decision in the case had been expected in August.
Motorola Mobility, which was recently acquired by Google, had asked for the infringing devices to be barred from importation into the United States.
