Microsoft and Google's Motorola Mobility Agree to Stay U.S. Patent Lawsuits [fosspatents.com]

Microsoft and Google subsidiary Motorola Mobility have reached an agreement on a procedural course of action: as far as their three lawsuits pending in the Western District of Washington are concerned, they are now going to focus on their dispute over the latter's FRAND licensing obligations. Until that part of the dispute has been resolved, the district court and the parties are not going to do any more work on their mutual patent infringement claims pending in Seattle, with only one small exception (a claim construction hearing next week).
