Microsoft files complaint against Motorola Mobility and Google for blocking MS products sales
Microsoft has filed a complaint with the European Commission alleging that Motorola Mobility and Google are attempting to block sales of Windows personal computers, Xbox game consoles, and other products that run Microsoft software. Google is named as a party to the complaint because it has yet to commit to changes in Motorola Mobility’s policies. Microsoft claims that Motorola Mobility’s strategic use of its standard patents threatens the availability of streaming video on the Internet.
Last week, Apple had filed a complaint with the EU alleging FRAND abuses.
