Apple filed a patent-infringement suit against Motorola, alleging that the company's smartphone lineup and the operating software it uses infringe on the iPhone-maker's intellectual property. The two lawsuits came after Motorola sued Apple in October for patent infringement. Apple filed the suits in US district court in Wisconsin, the Wall Street Journal reported. Apple in its complaints alleges that Motorola smartphones, including those in its Droid lineup, violate six Apple patents covering touch-screen and multitouch technology, as well as ways to display, access and interact with information on the phone. Apple is requesting that a judge award damages and attorney's fees and that the courts stop Motorola from selling the products. The suits single out the operating system as well. Motorola said it would contest the lawsuits.
