Following Oracle and Apple, Gemalto now takes a strong turn against Google. The Amsterdam-based chipmaker Gemalto files a lawsuit on patent infringement against the search giant. Aside from Google, mobile phone manufacturers including Motorala, HTC and Samsung were also sued by Gemalto. Representative for the accused companies opted not comment on this issue for the meantime.

In a statement released in response to Oracle’s lawsuit recently, Google denied all seven charges and has requested the court to dismiss the case and tagged it as “legally deficient”.  Google even called Oracle a hypocrite. Now, they are facing yet again another set of allegations with the sudden popularity of Google’s Android.

Gemalto mentioned in their sworn statement that a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for alleged infringement of its patented technologies in the open-source Android system and Dalvik operating milieu. Included in the statement is Gemalto’s claim that these patented technologies being used by Google’s Androids were products Gemalto’s research and development team in Texas, sometime in the 90’s.

To determine who controls what part of the industry and gets the compensation for the technology that goes beyond the traditional phone, a war is clearly going on between mobile phone businesses. Just last March, Apple filed a legal dispute against HTC Android phones and Oracle sued Google just this August. May of this year, Microsoft has inked a contract and struck an amicable licensing deal with HTC. Disputes are most commonly directed to software companies and hand-set makers as indirect means of targeting the larger firm.
