The Microsoft group announced Monday, March 21, he filed a complaint against the Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn and the bookseller Barnes & Noble. The U.S. firm estimates that they sell electronic reading lights, which use Google's Android system, violate its patents. Another Taiwanese company, Inventec, is covered by this complaint, filed with the International Trade Commission (ITC) and a federal court in Washington State.
The complaint has two reading lights sold by Barnes & Noble and manufactured by Foxconn, and the Nook Nook Color color version. "The patents in question cover a range of features incorporated into Android, essential to the user experience," according to Microsoft, including systems for faster surfing the Web, or interact with the documents of the e-book.
A BATTLE ALSO INVOLVED WITH MOTOROLA "By complaining, we protect our investments on behalf of our customers, our partners and our shareholders," also argues the deputy general counsel of Microsoft, Horacio Gutierrez, the band's blog. "We firmly believe, however, that the licenses are the best solution for our industry," he added.
Microsoft said it had entered into licensing agreements amicably with the Taiwanese manufacturer for HTC devices running Android, while negotiations for a year with Barnes & Noble, Foxconn and Inventec are unsuccessful. Since October 2010, is also a legal battle waged between Microsoft and Motorola in the area of mobile telephony.
