In early October 2010, Motorola accused Apple of infringing 18 patents and filed suit in the USA in Northern Illinois and Southern Florida federal district courts.[1]
On the 30th October, Apple filed a counter-suit in the USA,[2] initially listing 12 patents allegedly infringed, and later amending the suit to list 24 patents.[3] 21 are for distribution of Android software, 3 for set-top box video recorders.[4] Apple also applied to the United States International Trade Commission asking for an import ban on certain Motorola products, but this was rejected in January 2012.[5]
Contents
The patents
Can you help? How many are software patents? (See: Definition of software patent).
Motorola accuses Apple of infringing 18 patents,[6] some of which seem to be software patents.
Those which are or might be software patents
- 5,311,516: Paging system using message fragmentation to redistribute traffic
- 5,319,712: Method and apparatus for providing cryptographic protection of a data stream in a communication system
- 5,490,230: Digital speech coder having optimized signal energy parameters
- 5,572,193: Method for authentication and protection of subscribers in telecommunication systems
- 6,175,559: Method for generating preamble sequences in a code division multiple access system
- 6,359,898: Method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system
- 5,359,317: Method and apparatus for selectively storing a portion of a received message in a selective call receiver
- 6,246,697: Method and system for generating a complex pseudonoise sequence for processing a code division multiple access signal
- 6,272,333: Method and apparatus in a wireless communication system for controlling a delivery of data
- 7,751,826: System and method for E911 location privacy protection

- 6,377,161: Method and apparatus in a wireless messaging system for facilitating an exchange of address information
Hardware patents
The following appear to be hardware patents and thus aren't a danger to software developers:
- 5,710,987: Receiver having concealed external antenna
- 6,246,862: Sensor controlled user interface for portable communication device
- 6,578,054: Methods of adaptive channel access attempts
