Microsoft says wins patent trial against Google's Motorola Sep 5th 2013, 00:44 Tweet Share this Email Print The Microsoft logo is seen at their offices in Bucharest March 20, 2013.

Microsoft claimed that phone maker Motorola, owned by Google Inc, broke agreements to license the patents at a fair and reasonable rate, a position it said the jury agreed with. It follows a victory for Microsoft in another, related Seattle trial last year in which the judge found that the appropriate rate for Motorola to license the patents in dispute was only a fraction of what Motorola had asked for. "This is a landmark win for all who want products that are affordable and work well together," Microsoft said in a statement. A Google representative did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
