    From wsj.com:


    Microsoft Corp. sued Motorola Inc. for the second time in as many months, claiming the handset maker is seeking unreasonable royalties for technology the software maker uses in its Xbox game console.

    In a claim filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Microsoft alleged that Motorola has breached commitments made to standards organizations including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the International Telecommunications Union for "reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions" in patent licenses for various wireless and video-coding technologies.
