Motorola has obtained an order granting non-infringement in a patent case brought by the University of Texas System. A Federal District Court issued an order finding that certain Motorola handsets do not infringe on Texas University's U.S. Patent No. 4,674,112. The University of Texas System claims that its patent covers software used for text messaging on nearly all handsets, and that University of Texas System is owed hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. The court found that University of Texas System interpreted the claims of the text-messaging patent for the lawsuit in a different way than when the University filed for the patent.
