The U.S. International Trade Commission today ruled that Motorola is violating a Microsoft patent pertaining to sending event invitations via mobile devices. As part of the ruling, the ITC banned a total of 18 devices from being imported into the country. Today's ruling was a final judgment based on a decision made by an administrative law judge last December. The ITC said, "The appropriate form of relief in this investigation is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry for consumption of mobile devices, associated software and components thereof ... that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of, Motorola." The president has 60 days to review the exclusion order.

Substituting a mobile phone for a PC does not qualify as an invention

That seems to be what a lot of these patents are about: use an existing technology on a phone instead of a PC, and suddenly the USPTO idiots will grant you a patent for it.
