Company profile

Motorola Mobile Communication Technology Ltd appears to be an entity associated with Motorola's mobile communication business, which operates primarily through Motorola Mobility LLC. Motorola Mobility LLC, marketed as Motorola, is a United States-based consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing Android smartphones and other mobile devices. It is headquartered at Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois. Motorola Mobility LLC was formed on January 4, 2011, after the original Motorola Inc. split into two independent companies. Google acquired Motorola Mobility in 2012, and subsequently sold it to the Chinese technology company Lenovo for $2.91 billion in 2014. Motorola Mobility LLC operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo. As of 2018, Motorola Mobility had approximately 4,000 employees.

The company's primary products and services include a range of smartphones such as the Edge, Razr (foldable phones), and Moto G series, as well as mobile accessories and smart home devices. Motorola also offers business-focused solutions like the ThinkPhone by Motorola and the Smart Connect platform, which extends smartphone capabilities to external displays or PCs.

Motorola Mobile Communication Technology Ltd's patent litigation posture is defensive. With zero cases as a plaintiff and two as a defendant, it operates as an operating company defending against patent assertion entities. Its tracked cases include defenses in the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for patent litigation.

Both tracked cases, "Longitude Licensing Limited et al. v. Apple Inc. et al." and "Longitude Licensing Limited et al. v. Lenovo Group Limited et al.," list Motorola Mobile Communication Technology Ltd as a defendant, indicating it is being targeted by Longitude Licensing Limited. The case naming "Lenovo Group Limited et al." as a co-defendant further reinforces its connection to the broader Lenovo-Motorola corporate structure.
