Judge Tells Google: No Injunctions Based on SEPs

Google's bid for an injunction halting the sale of Microsoft products based on Motorola Mobility's standard-essential patents (SEPs) has failed. A federal judge in Seattle last Thursday said the SEPs, which in this case cover video decoding, can't be used for injunctions. He's the same judge that wouldn't let Motorola enforce its German injunction against Microsoft's Xbox, Windows 7 et al for the same reason. That order - already upheld by a US appeals court - has been reaffirmed in this latest "worldwide" decision. Judge James Robart said monetary damages for any infringement are enough of a remedy. His summary judgment found that "Motorola's obligation to grant such a RAND (reasonable and non-discriminatory) license to Microsoft far preceded the onset of this litigation, meaning that at all times during this litigation, the issue was not if, but when and under wh...

Book Review: Learning Mobile App Development

As an individual I can decide which platform I would like to target with my shiny new application, but when working for a company we have to target both industry leaders at the same time. Although I like a good challenge, I am really glad the mobile world now only consists of iOS and Android. When I first started looking at building consumer applications, Blackberry was still in the picture. My enterprise mobile experience consists of all Microsoft technologies, but that was in a different lifetime using Windows CE, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile. This book is a great book for looking at how some of the most commonly used functionality compares across the Android and iOS environments. I have listed the table of contents below to give you an idea of what topics are covered. Part I: Overview of Mobile App Development 1. Why Mobile Apps? 2. App Design Issues and Consideratio...
