5,579,517 "Common Name Space for Long and Short File Names"
5,758,352 "Common Name Space for Long and Short File Names"
So, these two are the the infamous FAT patents.
6,621,746 "Monitoring Entropic Conditions of a Flash Memory Device as an Indicator for Invoking Erasure Operations"
Defrag applied to flash, really that deserve a patent?
6,826,762 "Radio Interface Layer in a Cell Phone with a Set of APIs Having a Hardware-Independent Proxy Layer and a Hardware-Specific Driver Layer"
Hmmm layering an API so that you have an invariant user space API and hardware driver portion. Seems like the kind of thing every OS does.
6,909,910 "Method and System for Managing Changes to a Contact Database"
Really!?!? I wonder how if my first year CS course work violates this patent.
7,644,376 "Flexible Architecture for Notifying Applications of State Changes"
Hmmmm... a publish/subscriber notification protocol, no that has never been done before.
5,664,133 "Context Sensitive Menu System/Menu Behavior"
Ha, Ha, Ha Context sensitive menus! I could have sworn I have seen things like that for the last 20 years or so.
6,578,054 "Method and System for Supporting Off-line Mode of Operation and Synchronization Using Resource State Information"
Hmmm... patenting persistent state storage as part of a synchronization process. Hmmmm... I wonder if any of the hash based synchronizer I have built in the past would infringe.
6,370,566 "Generating Meeting Requests and Group Scheduling from a Mobile Device"
Oh, doing it from a mobile device makes it so much more unique.
They are all garbage patents and if Motorola decides to fight versus cross licensing, I don't believe they will hold up.
