Motorola’s had enough troubles last year – it’s time that they turn over a new leaf and get back to the business of making profits from mobile phone sales. Moto has just settled their outstanding patent disputes with Metrologic Instruments, giving them a clean slate to launch those 20-30 new handsets in 2008.
Metrologic and Motorola have been in a patent dispute since 2002 over barcode scanning and mobile computing technologies. The feuding companies have settled on a cross-licensing deal that should give either side the legal peace of mind to concentrate on making money again.
Bring on the new hotness, Moto. We can’t wait to see what you’re bringing to CES 2008!
