Move #6:Two days after its three complaints alleging that Apple infringes
a total of 18 different Motorola patents, Motorola filesin the District of Delaware a request for declaratory judgment
that Motorola does not infringe 12 Apple patents(and that those patents be deemed invalid in the first place).Those 12 patents include the 10 patents asserted by Apple
against HTC before the ITC as well as 2 of the patentsover which Apple sues HTC in the District of Delaware.
With this pre-emptive move, Motorola effectively triggeredthe equivalent of being sued by Apple over those 12 patents.

United States International Trade CommissionInvestigation no. 337-TA-710 on "certain personal data and mobile communications devices and relatedsoftware" -- complaint filed on 02 March 2010
Apple Inc. and NeXT Software (both of Cupertino, CA 95014)vs. High Tech Computer Corp. (of Taiwan), HTC America, Inc. (of Bellevue, WA 98005) and Exedea Inc. (of Houston, TX 77036)
Partial consolidation stated further below (added Nokia Corp. and Nokia Inc. as defendants).
Allegedly infringing productsApple's complaint distinguishes between two groups of products:1) "Android": computing and mobile communication devices running the Android operating system;examples: HTC Nexus One, HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1), HTC Magic (HTC myTouch 3G), HTC Hero, HTC Droid Eris2) "DSP": other HTC products with digital signal processing functionality;examples: HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro2, HTC Tilt II, HTC Pure, HTC HD2, HTC Imagio
Apple alleges that products in the "Android" group infringe all 10 asserted patents while "DSP" products infringe only the '263 patent.
Asserted patents (in order of appearance in documents filed with the ITC)
asserted by Apple in original complaint5,481,721 ("721") Method for providing automatic and dynamic translation of object oriented programming language-based
message passing into operating system message passing using proxy objects5,519,867 ("867") Object-oriented multitasking system dropped as a result of Apple motion of 28 Oct 20106,275,983 ("983") Object-oriented operating system5,566,337 ("337") Method and apparatus for distributing events in an operating system5,929,852 ("852") Encapsulated network entity reference of a network component system
dropped as a result of Apple motion of 28 Oct 20105,946,647 ("647") System and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data5,969,705 ("705") Message protocol for controlling a user interface from an inactive application program6,343,263 ("263") Real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data5,915,131 ("131") Method and apparatus for handling I/O requests utilizing separate programming interfaces to access separate
I/O service dropped as a result of Apple motion of 28 Oct 2010RE39,486 ("RE486") Extensible, replaceable network component system dropped as a result of Apple motion of 28 Oct 2010
Partial consolidationOn 26 Apr 2010, the ITC ordered the partial consolidation of case no. 337-TA-704 into this one. As a result, Nokia Corp. (of Espoo,Finland) and Nokia Inc. (of White Plains, NY 10604) have to defend themselves alongside HTC against allegations of infringement of fivepatents (the '867, '131, '705, '263 and RE486 patents). An unopposed Apple motion for partial termination on 28 Oct 2010 (relating tofour patents, three of which were subject to partial consolidation) reduced that subset of patents to two (the '705 and '263 patents).Information concerning Nokia's allegedly infringing products will be provided athe document covering the Apple/Nokia dispute.
