Android coalition rips apart Apple’s import nets
Summary: For a change, Apple suffers a setback at the embargo agency, the US ITC (against an American company though)
THE Inquirer says that “SELLER OF ITHINGS Apple’s claims that Motorola infringed its patents suffered a blow yesterday when the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled against it.
“The US trade watchdog said it will terminate its investigation after finding that Motorola has not infringed Apples patents with its mobile devices or related software.
“What really happens here is an Apple attempt to bar the competition from competing.”“The ITC began the investigation on 30 November, 2010, based on a complaint filed by Apple. Apple claimed that some of Motorola’s devices infringed its US patents 7,812,828, 7,663,607 and 5,379,430.”
What really happens here is an Apple attempt to bar the competition from competing. Apple is doing very disgusting things these days. This was the intent of the spiritual leader, Steve Jobs, whose good/best friend Larry Ellison keeps attacking Android in the courtroom with the intent of making Android a lot more expensive. Groklaw covers this case and it also covers other cases that may help end the problem by striking hard at the root:

The decision [PDF] in Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus is in. The US Supreme Court unanimously decided that Prometheus’s patent claims were invalid because they “effectively claim the underlying laws of nature themselves”. This is a major win, so I’ve done it as text for you. I’m thrilled, because I found the oral argument on this case a bit depressing. Actually, it depresses me that patent claims like this even issue, and worse, that the Federal Circuit upheld them. Well, another spanking from above.
In a separate post we’ll deal with software patents more generally. There is a lot that can be done to remove Apple’s weapons and take away its unsafe toys. █
