Microsoft sues Motorola in Germany again, claims Google Maps violates patent

Motorola isn't going to escape as cleanly as it would like from Microsoft's patent lawsuit campaign. Microsoft has sued Motorola once more in Germany, only this time it's waging a more direct fight against Motorola's owner Google. The lawsuit claims that Motorola devices violate a patent for taking map information from one set and overlaying it with data from another - a technique that describes Google Maps, not to mention virtually every internet-connected mapping system we know.
