Apple has filed a new lawsuit against Motorola over a patent license agreement that exists between Motorola and Qualcomm. Specifically, Apple argues that since it is now a Qualcomm customer, it is a "third-party beneficiary of Motorola's agreement with Qualcomm," meaning that Motorola can't sue it for patents it is licensing from Qualcomm. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S., but pertains to the 3G lawsuits filed by Motorola against Apple in Germany.

Geeezz I swear

crApple sues everyone over everything don't they. Seems like every day you read about them filing a lawsuit somewhere in the world. They're extremely litigious for sure.

Do we really need this?

News about patent litigation. It just seems so droll. Give us juicy details on phones and plans and roaming agreements and stuff, but the patent litigation doesn't seem so interesting, unless of course it actually does lead to someone's devices from being banned from the US.

I said the very similar last week, its either patent trolls or flame articles on AT&T and Apple.
