Motorola Readying For Patent Attacks

Patent battles seem to have become a norm in the smartphone world, with Microsoft and Apple doing most of the suing. Now, Motorola wants to join the battle with their own patents. In a recent conference, Motorola's mobile department CEO hinted the companies future hopes of using its patents to get a bit more out of Android. Microsoft really showed the industry by winning royalties with most of the people they sued, and it seems Motorola is now following their lead with hopes of winning a few battles using their patent collection.

This isn't great news because soon, we'll have no consumer electronics because they all "copied" each others' designs.
