Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The complaints allege infringement of six patents by Motorola, Inc.
and Motorola Mobility, Inc. The complaints allege that Motorola, Inc. and Motorola Mobility, Inc. directly
infringes, contributorily infringes and/or induces others to infringe the patents-in-suit by making, using, offering for
sale and selling in the United States certain mobile devices and related software. The complaint seeks unspecified
monetary damages and injunctive relief. On November 9, 2010, Motorola Mobility, Inc. filed counterclaims against
Apple Inc. to their complaints alleging infringement of twelve Motorola Mobility, Inc. patents.
On October 29, 2010, Apple Inc. filed a complaint alleging patent infringement against Motorola, Inc. and
Motorola Mobility, Inc. with the United States International Trade Commission. The matter is entitled In the
Matter of Certain Mobile Devices and Related Software (Inv. No. 337-TA-750). The complaint alleges infringement
of three patents by Motorola, Inc. and Motorola Mobility, Inc. The complaint alleges that Motorola, Inc. and
Motorola Mobility, Inc. directly infringe, contributorily infringe and/or induce others to infringe the three patents
by manufacturing, marketing and selling in the United States mobile devices, such as smartphones, and associated
software, including operating systems, user interfaces, and other application software designed for use on, and
loaded onto, such devices. The complaint seeks the issuance of an exclusion order barring from entry into the
United States certain mobile devices and related software and a cease and desist order prohibiting Motorola, Inc.
(now Motorola Solutions, Inc.) and Motorola Mobility, Inc. from importing, selling, transporting, and other related
activities of certain mobile devices and related software. On November 30, 2010, the ITC instituted the
investigation. On July 27, 2011 Motorola Solutions, Inc. filed an unopposed motion to remove Motorola Solutions,
Inc. as a respondent in the ITC matter. The motion was subsequently approved by the Commission on August 15,
2011. As a result, Motorola Solutions, Inc. is no longer a participant in the ITC matter. Although Motorola
Solutions, Inc. remains a party to certain of the complaints filed in district courts referenced above, no Motorola
Solutions products are subject to the matters and we do not believe the proceedings to be material to Motorola
Solutions. Accordingly, we will no longer be reporting on these matters.
The Company is a defendant in various other suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the Company’s pending legal proceedings will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of
operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.
Item 4: Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
