Microsoft on Friday said that it would to sue Google accusing latter’s Android of infringing its software patents.
 
It said that it plans to add Google as a defendant in a case in which it claims a mapping feature on Motorola phones infringes one of its patents.
 
"It became necessary to add Google to this particular case because Motorola maintains that it lacks sufficient information about actions occurring on Google's servers," said a Microsoft spokesperson in an emailed statement on Friday.
 
Google responded by saying that it would defend against any amended complaint Microsoft files.
 
"We want to focus on innovation, not litigation, but we'll vigorously defend against any amended complaint Microsoft files," Google's deputy general counsel Allen Lo said.
