Google has filed suit directly against Apple

Apple has recently won its proxy war with Google and Android through its international legal dispute with Samsung.

But the empire strikes back. And it wants to hit directly home. Google has filed suit directly against Apple in the U.S. International Trade Commission. The claim is that Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch infringe seven of the roughly 17,000 patents Google inherited when it bought Motorola Mobility just over a year ago.

We would like to settle these patent matters," said a spokesperson for Google's Motorola division, "but Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations.

The patents in question involve location reminders, e-mail notifications, video playback and Siri, and were deemed serious enough to demand an import ban against nearly every iOS product Apple makes.

The Google comeback has far more dangerous implication than the one won by Apple against Samsung, The infringement is for non-standard essential patents, which means that Google filed a case for a patent/patents that courts cannot legally force companies to patent, meaning that if they win this case, Apple could be forced to completely stop using the patent in their devices.

And so begin the "thermonuclear war" that Steve Jobs promised. Or should it have been "technonuclear".

The best defense is to offense. 看看苹果把google整毛了的后果。。。。
其实Google已经被苹果整的无路可走了，赢了棒子以后大家都害怕被苹果告。
你要像微软那样授权HTC收钱倒是可以，不会激起那么多公司的愤怒
苹果那样不给人活路，断人财路如杀人父母，直接禁售，必然会引起众人群起而攻之，论手机专利，还是google收购的摩托罗拉要多一些
