Microsoft says Android infringes on its intellectual property for the first time. Microsoft says it has been in talks with other phone makers to address Android infringements. Microsoft and HTC have inked a new patent deal that specifically provides HTC with the right to use Microsoft’s patented technologies in phones running Google’s Android operating system. The pact comes as the patent battle in the cell phone space has grown more intense. Apple announced last month it was suing HTC for patent infringement; some observers have said that Android appears to be the focus of the suit.
