“When Motorola preemptively launched their declaration judgment action against Apple earlier this month, we knew that Apple was likely to launch multiple patent infringement lawsuits against Motorola once their licensing negotiations failed to produce an agreement,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple. “Late yesterday, Apple filed a pair of patent infringement lawsuits against Motorola Inc. and Motorola Mobility Inc. in the Wisconsin Western District Court. The combined lawsuits cover six patents – none of which were covered by Motorola Mobility Inc.’s filed lawsuits.”
“According to court documents, Apple states that the Accused Products are mobile devices, such as smartphones, and associated software, including operating systems, user interfaces, and other application software designed for use on, and loaded onto, such devices,” Purcher reports. “Upon information and belief, these products are manufactured, marketed and/or sold by Motorola in the United States. At least the following mobile devices infringe one or more claims of one or more of the Asserted Patents: Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq, Cliq XT, BackFlip, Devour A555, Devour i1, and Charm.1.”
The following information pertains to six granted patents listed in Apple’s two distinct lawsuits.
Case 0661
• Ellipse Fitting for Multi-Touch Surfaces
• Multipoint Touchscreen:
• Object-Oriented System Locator System
Case 0662
• Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics
• Method and Apparatus for Displaying and Accessing Control and Status Information in a Computer System
• Support for Custom User-Interaction Elements in a Graphical, Event-Driven Computer System

MacDailyNews Take: The chickens are coming home to roost for Google and their Android suckers, er… partners. And, this time around, there’s no poorly-written contract signed by an unprepared sugared water salesbozo.” Wherever their IP in infringed upon, Apple should make the thieves pay dearly.
Google’s going to rue the day they got greedy by deciding to try to work against Apple instead of with them. Google at least has another business to fall back on, but their hapless, desperate, and now totally dependent device assemblers like Motorola and HTC are really going to get whacked.
• We’ve been pushing the state-of-the-art in every facet of design… We’ve been innovating like crazy for the last few years on this and we’ve filed for over 200 patents for all of the inventions in iPhone. And we intend to protect them. – Apple CEO Steve Jobs when unveiling iPhone, January 9, 2007
• We like competition as long as they don’t rip off our IP, in which case we will go after them. We will not stand for having our IP ripped-off and we will use any weapons at our disposal [to stop it]. – Apple COO Tim Cook, January 21, 2009

Has anyone ever asked Steve Jobs why he wears the same outfit all the time?
C1 would probably say it’s because Bush lied about 9/11.

A 5 year old girl rode her training bike into an old woman who was knocked over and broke her hip.
The old woman died 3 months later of complications brought on by the broken hip.
The appeals court says the 5 year old can be sued. As a result, her parents can also be sued.
You gotta love a country where you can sue 5 year olds for being 5 year olds.
Actually you gotta love not living in a country that allows people to sue 5 year old girls for playing with their bikes on the sidewalk.

It was really Obama that master minded 9/11.
Bush was just his slave.
And Rockfeller had Kennedy assassinated so he could build his Jaccuzzi where he wanted.
So now you know the truth, but be careful, once they find out, they’ll send Clinton after you!

Big Al,
Really?!?! Just because my last name isn’t Bush doesn’t mean I’m not connected.
Also, at least I don’t post as if it was my laptop speaking. Apple is great, but they’re not that good, yet.
But then again, C1 would retort that Bin Laden was on the Republican payroll with money funneled through Redmond.

The old woman died during surgery on her broken hip, a different matter altogether. She might have lived for quite some time if not operated on.
She likely wouldn’t have needed surgery if she didn’t sustain a accident, but holding a 5 year old responsible and thus her parents is wrong, the old woman shouldn’t have been on the streets if she was so frail and unable to withstand the normal bumps and bruises of daily life.
If the 5 year old loses, the result will be a leash law for children, much like there is for dogs. As now parents can be sued for their child’s accidents or malicious behavior.
Of course next there will be a argument at what age does the leash law end for children? Technically a 18 year old is no longer a child. So does that mean 12 year olds have to be leashed to a adult whenever outside?

Albert Einstein wore the same thing every day. He had many copies of the same suit and shirt and put on a clean set every day. He did this because fashion was not important to him and he did not want to waste his time trying to decide what to wear. He just reached in the closet, grabbed a suit and put it on.
Steve is well known to be a big fan of Einstein, so he’s probably copying his lead.

Criticize Microsoft all you want, but they are perfectly positioned to fill the Android void, or at least make Android as expensive to use (after payment of all of the royalties needed). M$ delivered aproduct that does not appear to infringe in any meaningful way on Apple’s IP, so I do indeed give them credit for taking their time and delivering a product with more originality than Android.

@J, the KRAKEN will not stop with Motorola! RIMM wil be next. Just this week they demonstrated multi-touch….a clear infringement into the Nuetral Zone!

Personally, I think it was very irresponsible of the parents to let their child on a training bike to ride into a 90-yr old woman with a walker. Clearly, the parents were right there, as they surely didn’t let their 4-yr old ride on a sidewalk alone. If you see your little girl riding toward a 90-yr old with a walker, you make sure she stops and lets the little old lady past. If you don’t, you’re legally liable. Simple as that. Doesn’t matter how cute the 4-yr old is. The whole point of making the 4-yr old responsible is so the old lady’s family can sue the parents.
You guys who support the family with the little girl are being blinded that she’s a little girl. Imagine instead of a little girl, it’s a puppy pitbull, who attacks that little old lady and knocks her down? Who’s responsible? Surely, not the puppy. Of course, it’s the owners responsibility, just like it’s the parents responsibility that the little girl knocked down the old lady.

That Albert Einstein 1 suite thing is urban legend. I had heard it too and thought Steve was emulating him but I researched it and found it to be false.

It’s true, 5 year olds can be sued.
I don’t think you can sue a Pit Bull in the USA, but who knows?
So, since a 5 year old can be sued, there is no need for a leash law for kids, idiot.

Wow, one of the patents that Motorola infringed on was registered to Taligent Inc. That was a spinoff of Apple’s failed “Pink” operating system.

As an early partner of Apple, Motorola was a great disappointment. Apple depends on Motorola for industrial-strength chips to power the Mac but Motorola was a competitive wimp to Intel and couldn’t live up to the expectation and promise of the so-called PowerPC chip. Motorola is not a dependable partner and it was the right thing for Apple to eject the parasitic Motorola from the Apple tree.

The increasingly complex web that’s developed from all of the mobile patent enforcement actions is truly head-spinning. What’s more, it all seems rather wasteful, when one considers the fact that the likely result of all these lawsuits will be settlements and cross-licensing deals. How anticlimactic.
