Motorola said to have infringed an MMS patent owned by “patent troll”

Smartphone maker Motorola has been found to be guilt of infringing patent that is related to the MMS technology which is used for multimedia texting on mobile devices. The patent is currently an intellectual property of company known as Intellectual Ventures. After back in Feb 2014, this is the second time both the companies are meeting in the court.

Apart from declaring Motorola to be guilty of infringing the patent, that company has also been slammed for illegal use of patents related to wireless bandwidth. The two companies would now be facing each other in the court to resolve this issue. This is what an executive who handles cases for Intellectual Ventures had to say:

“We are encouraged by today’s verdict. As we look ahead to the next trial, we remain committed to defending inventor rights and protecting the interests of our investors and customers.”-Melissa Finocchio, chief litigation counsel, Intellectual Ventures.

Motorola was earlier sued by the company two time in 2011 and in 2013. The company has also alleged Motorola of using its other technologies without permission.
