“Ten days ago I reported on Apple’s motions to stay proceedings in the Western District of Wisconsin and the Southern District of Florida until Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility (MMI) is completed, arguing that the terms of the merger agreement call into question MMI’s actual control over its patents,” Florian Mueller reports for FOSS Patents.
“Yesterday, MMI responded in Wisconsin (and will probably make a similar filing in Florida soon),” Mueller reports. “MMI wants all of its patent infringement lawsuits to carry on regardless of the merger.”
Mueller reports, “If there’s a problem with the Google-MMI merger agreement, the only cure can be an amendment to that agreement. Such an amendment would most likely come in the form of an additional agreement that modifies the existing merger agreement with respect to MMI’s disposal of its patents.”
