Interesting especially since they have previously won in a previous case with the same patents and they're battling in europe as well.

Motorola actually also asserting one of these in European equivalent of this patent against Apple with a decision being made on Friday 3rd February, 2012.

I'm hoping this is a situation where google hopes they'll lose but they'll force apple to argue public ally against ridiculous software patents.

But this is probably giving Google too much credit.

They'll probably win the patent battle in Europe on the 3rd Feb where one of the patents is being disputed, and since they've won previously against older Apple products its not 100% in favour of Apple.

"Do no evil (unless your competitors have done evil first - then it's fair game)."

Can't wait to hear the rationalization on why it's okay for Google to propagate the mobile IP war and not it's competitors...

They're protecting its competitors (Android ones that is) - http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-15/tech/30008645...

Yes, Google bought Motorola to protect itself from patent war.

...Which is why Google is now attempting to shut down a competitors product lines using patents.

Wait, what?

I stand by my post. This is straight up bullshit, just like the rest of the industry. Google is no better than Apple or Microsoft or anyone else. Do no evil has become Do the status quo.
