In January, the U.S. manufacturer Motorola announced it had filed a complaint against Canadian RIM with the American committee in charge of regulating international trade. Motorola had considered that Research In Motion had violated several of its patents in its BlackBerry smartphones.
Motorola claims of intellectual property rights on multiple connectivity technologies compatible with 2G, 3G, 4G, but also WiFi 802.11 and synchronization of emails. The two parties finally signed an agreement and announce that some patents will now be transferred from one society to another. In addition, Research In Motion will have to pay licensing fees to Motorola. The amount of this transaction, however, kept confidential.
This is not the first history of the genre. Last month Nokia had filed a complaint against Apple, accusing the firm of Steve Jobs to have violated five patents related to data transmission technologies. Apple in turn has assigned Justice HTC employment of multi-point in its terminals.
