In cursul serii trecute un judecator al unei curti din Chicago a dat o hotarare prin care obliga companiile Google si Motorola sa ofere companiei Apple acces la documentatia privind achizitionarea Motorola Mobility de catre Google. Asta nu este tot deoarece o divizie a Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. trebuie sa ofere companiei Apple acces la documentatia privind dezvoltarea sistemului de operare Android OS. Decizia vine in cadrul unui proces intentat de catre Apple in anul 2010 impotriva celor de la Motorola iar documentele puse in discutie ar oferi celor de la Apple dovezile necesare pentru a isi sustine pretentiile in fata curtii.
Google Inc. and a Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (MMI) unit were ordered by the U.S. judge presiding over an Apple Inc. (AAPL) patent lawsuit to turn over information about the development of Google’s Android operating system. The Motorola Mobility unit and Google must also hand over to Apple information about Google’s pending $12.5 billion acquisition of the mobile-phone maker, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner in Chicago ruled yesterday. Posner’s decision came in a patent lawsuit filed in 2010 by Cupertino, California-based Apple against Motorola Mobility, which has countersued. “The Android/Motorola acquisition discovery is highly relevant to Apple’s claims and defenses,” Apple’s attorneys’ said in a March 2 filing requesting the judge’s order.
Google va cheltui nu mai putin de 12.5 miliarde de dolari pentru achizitionarea diviziei mobile a companiei Motorola si desi se zvonea ca brevetele de inventie ar fi fost principalul motiv pentru aceasta achizitie, iata ca in final compania Google ar putea obtine mult mai putin decat si-ar fi dorit. Pana acum acele brevete de inventie au ajutat la blocarea iCloud in Germania si la scoaterea temporara din vanzare a iDevice-urilor in aceeasi tara dar acum Apple poate bloca vanzarile terminalelor Motorola si poate chiar ordona distrugerea lor insa numai in Germania.
In final Apple va vedea detaliile achizitiei companiei Motorola plus planurile de viitor privind dezvoltarea Android OS in cadrul Motorola.
