Fujifilm sues Motorola Mobility for patent infringement

Fujifilm says that after more of failed patent license discussions, it is suing Google’s recently-acquired mobile phone manufacturing subsidiary Motorola Mobility.

Fujifilm filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and says it first notified Motorola in April 2011.

The four patents cover converting color images to monochrome; devices communicating over non-telephone networks; facial detection; and low-resolution display of high-resolution images.
