FujiFilm is suing Google's Motorola Mobility subsidiary over four
patents associated with digital camera and photo technology in
cellphones.
FujiFilm claims Motorola's phones including the Droid X, X2, 2
Global, Bionic, 3, Pro; and the Atrix 2, Electrify, Photon 4G, XPRT,
Defy, Cliq 2 and Titanium handsets, infringe the following patents:
- U.S. Patent 6,144,763, which covers the capturing of color pictures
by a cellphone and their conversion to monochrome images;
- U.S. Patent 6,915,119, which addresses a "telephone and data
transmitting method." FujiFilm alleges a number of Motorola devices
infringe on this patent through their use of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi as a
means to communicate with a computer or other device;
- U.S. Patent 7,327,886, covering the facial detection system included
in some Motorola cellphones; and
- U.S. Patent 5,734,427, concerning the processing of a high-
resolution image into a lower-resolution image for display on an
electronic viewfinder.
In its complaint, FujiFilm asks Motorola to pay damages to be decided
at trial and to pay FujiFilm's legal costs.
