Motorola Asks ITC to Ban BlackBerry Imports

Motorola and RIM? Motorola is filling a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission.

In the complaint Motorola alleges that RIM engages in unfair trade practices by importing and selling products that infringe five Motorola patents. Which the patents cover technologies related to Wi-Fi access application management, user interface and power management.

With that breach, Motorola is asking ITC to investigate RIM and bar RIM from importing on the market and selling the products that use the technologies.

RIM has been deploying delay tactics in ongoing patent litigation and has refused to design around Motorola’s technologies, Motorola claims.The companies have been engaged in patent infringement suits dating back to early 2008. In one of those suits, RIM accused Motorola of charging exorbitant fees to license patents that are essential to implementing standard technologies. RIM also accused Motorola of infringing nine of its patents.

This patents infringing seems to have a pattern lol, well RIM didn’t make any comment on Motorola filling with ITC
