http://fosspatents.blogspot.com Two days after its three complaints alleging that Apple infringes
Twitter: @FOSSpatents 12
a total of 18 different Motorola patents, Motorola files
in the District of Delaware a request for declaratory judgment
that Motorola does not infringe 12 Apple patents
(and that those
4 patents be deemed invalid in the first place).
Those 12 patents include the 10 patents asserted by Apple
10 8 3
against HTC before the ITC as well as 2 of the patents
over which Apple sues HTC in the District of Delaware.
With this pre-emptive move, Motorola effectively triggered
5 3 6 12 6 the equivalent of being sued by Apple over those 12 patents.

Reference United States International Trade Commission
material Investigation no. 337-TA-710 on "certain personal data and mobile communications devices and related
software" -- complaint filed on 02 March 2010
as per
Apple Inc. and NeXT Software (both of Cupertino, CA 95014)
02 Dec 10 vs. High Tech Computer Corp. (of Taiwan), HTC America, Inc. (of Bellevue, WA 98005) and Exedea Inc. (of Houston, TX 77036)
page R-1 Partial consolidation stated further below (added Nokia Corp. and Nokia Inc. as defendants).
Apple alleges that products in the "Android" group infringe all 10 asserted patents while "DSP" products infringe only the '263 patent.
Asserted patents (in order of appearance in documents filed with the ITC)
Partial consolidation
On 26 Apr 2010, the ITC ordered the partial consolidation of case no. 337-TA-704 into this one. As a result, Nokia Corp. (of Espoo,
Finland) and Nokia Inc. (of White Plains, NY 10604) have to defend themselves alongside HTC against allegations of infringement of five
patents (the '867, '131, '705, '263 and RE486 patents). An unopposed Apple motion for partial termination on 28 Oct 2010 (relating to
four patents, three of which were subject to partial consolidation) reduced that subset of patents to two (the '705 and '263 patents).
Information concerning Nokia's allegedly infringing products will be provided athe document covering the Apple/Nokia dispute.
Reference United States District Court for the District of Delaware
material Case no. 1:10-cv-00167 -- complaint filed on 02 March 2010

Allegedly infringing products
"certain mobile communication devices including cellular phones and smart phones, including at least phones incorporating the
Android Operating System" (item 13 of the complaint)

always makes it clear which party holds the relevant patent.

7,278,032 ("032") Circuit and operating method for integrated interface of PDA and wireless communication system

page R-7 Guide (for TV or DVR functions)". The other three patents relate to Android-based smartphones. More detail below the patent list.

as per Motorola Mobility, Inc. (of Libertyville, IL 60048)
02 Dec 10 vs. Apple, Inc. and NeXT Software, Inc. (both of Cupertino, CA 95014)

page R-8 NeXT subsidiary) asserted Motorola's infringement of those 12 patents (and, of course, insisted on their validity) through an amended
complaint in case no. 1:10-cv-00662 in the Western District of Wisconsin. The following day, Apple filed a motion in Delaware that this
declaratory judgment case should be (ideally) dismissed or (alternatively) transferred to the Western District of Wisconsin..
