In an announcement on Motorola's site, the company said that Apple incorporated in the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and certain Mac computers, or in associated services, technnology that was developed by Motorola.

The technologies that Motorola execs say are theirs involve "wireless communication technologies, such as WCDMA (3G), GPRS, 802.11 and antenna design, and key smartphone technologies including wireless email, proximity sensing, software application management, location-based services and multi-device synchronization."

Motorola said that it has asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate Apple and wants Apple to stop selling the allegedly infringing products.

Question: Why didn't they, oh, I don't know, sue them YEARS AGO? Yeah, like they're gonna be able to make Apple stop selling all it's products. Worse case scenario, Apple has to give them a share of the profits.

idk Motorola is pretty pushy. I think they might win this one. To the extent of how big of a win it will be I'm not sure.
I'm not to sure how long back this stems from. But this aint the first time Motorola has sued Apple over patents.
