Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest software maker, told a German court that Android-based smartphones and tablets from Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. infringe its European patents.
Microsoft claimed in the first of three cases heard today that software Motorola Mobility uses protected technology that helps computers switch between languages in the same program. Presiding Judge Peter Guntz in Munich said the patent may have been drafted so narrowly that its language may not cover the solution Motorola Mobility uses.
