Microsoft Sues US Customs For Allowing Imports of Banned Motorola Phones

Posted by timothy on from the we-seek-this-rent-wholeheartedly dept.

SmartAboutThings writes "Microsoft filed a lawsuit on Friday accusing the United States Customs of secretly meeting with Google representatives to allow imports of Motorola devices that are infringing on Microsoft's ActiveSync technology and therefore should be banned." The article lists 18 (older) Android devices that are named in the complaint; Xoom owners just got some street cred.

    considering that the source of the Ban was ITC, another bureaucratic shortcut instead of proving infringement in a court of law, nothing of value was lost
