U.S. District Judge James L. Robart  yesterday in Seattle ruled against Motorola that the planned November trial aimed at determining a reasonable and nondiscriminatory royalty range for Motorola standard-essential patents would move ahead. Motorola earlier sought for dismissal of Microsoft’s claim for a FRAND patent license agreement to be determined by the court and now it has been denied by the court.
Also Microsoft was suing Motorola over Mapping patent in Germany. The patent describes a method of obtaining the map from one database, resource information such as Starbucks locations from a second database, and overlaying the two sets of data. This patent was acquired by Microsoft from European map maker Multimap. After Motorola denied the claims made by Microsoft, Microsoft’s lead counsel announced that it will amend this complaint in order to add Google Inc.
