ITC Rules Motorola Infringes on Microsoft Patent, Bans Imports The U.S. International Trade Commission today ruled that Motorola is violating a Microsoft patent pertaining to sending event invitations via mobile devices. As part of the ruling, the ITC banned a total of 18 devices from being imported into the country. Today's ruling was a final judgment based on a decision made by an administrative law judge last December.

The president has 60 days to review the exclusion order. Click here to read more |
