NTP sues top mobile companies for using patents without licence
New York: NTP has filed patent infringement lawsuits against easily named top mobile phone companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Motorola as it alleges that the companies were using its patents without a license. The company has also sued HTC and LG Electronics for the same and its lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The eight patents which are infringed relate to the delivery of email over wireless communications systems. Google has been gaining ground in the market as more phone makers depend on its Android mobile operating system for their flagship phones. 67 of the claims by NTP has been validated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. NTP said that it appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to overturn the patent office's remaining rejections of NTP patent claims.
