Sendo Sues Orange for Patent Infringement

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the we-did-it-first dept.

captnjameskirk writes "RCR Wireless News is reporting that Sendo is suing European carrier Orange for patent infringement involving the circuit board design within the phones. As the article points out, Sendo also sued Microsoft for allegedly stealing their technology for use in the Smartphone OS." Back in January, we also had some more information on the case between Sendo and Microsoft.

    Mobile-phone upstart Sendo lashed out with another lawsuit...

    Doesn't that sound a little like biased reporting to anybody else? ...lashed out... another lawsuit..?

    Nope, 'coz Sendo had an agreement where they shared their technology with MS in exchange for access to MS's OS technology. Sendo made the mistake of agreeing that if they ever went under that their tech automatically got handed over to MS so it was actually in MS's interest that they went under. Sendo basically asserted that MS was not keeping up their end of the bargain whilst Orange got all the good stuff and help they were meant to be getting.
