Google's MotorolaMobilityunit filed a complaint against Apple with the U.S. Google's MotorolaMobility division has filed a patent infringement claim against Apple over the Siri voice control and location-based services used on iPhones and iPads.
Google's proposed acquisition of MotorolaMobility could soon be approved by the U.S. A mark of approval from the DOJ would be a welcome step forward for Google in its quest to acquire Motorola's handset business.
However, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha indicated that "that it could be problematic for MotorolaMobility to continue as a stand-alone entity if it sold a large portion of its patent portfolio," according to the SEC filing.
