Microsoft Corp.s Xbox video-gaming system doesnt violate the patent rights of Google Inc. (GOOG)s Motorola Mobility unit, a U.S. trade judge said. In a one-paragraph notice yesterday, U.S. International Trade Commission Judge David Shaw sided with Microsoft in the case. His findings are subject to review by the six-member commission, which has the power to block imports of products that infringe U.S. patents. The judges findings relate to a patent for a way to establish communication between the Xbox and accessories. Its all thats left of a case that originally involved five patents, including two on widely used technology for video decoding, and led to accusations by Microsoft and regulators that Motorola Mobility was misusing patents to thwart competition.
