Microsoft sues Motorola over Xbox royalties: WSJ

Software major Microsoft Corp sued Motorola for the second time in as many months, claiming that the handset maker was seeking unreasonable royalties for technology it used in its Xbox game console, said a media report.

"Microsoft Corp sued Motorola Inc for the second time in as many months, claiming the handset maker is seeking unreasonable royalties for technology the software maker uses in its Xbox game console," reported the Wall Street Journal.


Microsoft alleged that Motorola has breached commitments made to standards organisations including the International Telecommunications Union for 'reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions' in patent licenses for various wireless and video-coding technologies, the report said, citing Microsoft's filing in the US district Court.
