Google, Motorola Ordered to Give Data to Apple
A federal judge ordered Motorola Mobility Inc. and Google Inc. to turn over information about their merger and the search giant’s Android operating system, as part of a lawsuit by Apple Inc.
Apple, the plaintiff in a 2010 smartphone patent suit against Motorola, sought the documentation earlier this month. The request represents one effort in a wide-ranging battle among mobile-device makers using intellectual property for legal and competitive advantage.
