\n<\/span><\/p>\nTechnology giant Microsoft has sued Barnes & Noble, alleging the US bookseller’s electronic book reader Nook infringes its patents.<\/p>\n
Microsoft claims the device, which runs on Google’s Android operating system, infringes various patents, including those concerning navigation software.<\/p>\n
It is also suing electronics manufacturers Inventec and Foxconn International.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court in Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n
“The Android platform infringes a number of Microsoft’s patents, and companies manufacturing and shipping Android devices must respect our intellectual property rights,” said Horacio Gutierrez, deputy general counsel of Microsoft’s intellectual property and licensing.<\/p>\n
“We have tried for over a year to reach licensing agreements with Barnes & Noble, Foxconn and Inventec. Their refusals to take licenses leave us no choice but to bring legal action to defend our innovations.”<\/p>\n
Barnes & Noble, the biggest bookseller in the US, has invested heavily in its Nook e-book in an attempt to gain ground on market leader Amazon and its Kindle reader, and to fight off increased competition from supermarkets and online retailers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
