- Motorola is facing a lawsuit for violating Ericsson’s patents on 5G wireless technology.
- A US International Trade Commission judge has found Motorola infringes on Ericsson’s patents.
- If the final ruling confirms the infringement, Motorola may be banned from importing phones to the US.
Lenovo-owned Motorola is the best option to go for when it comes to mid-range and budget smartphones. But soon you might not be able to find one in a store near you. That’s because Motorola is currently facing a lawsuit for the infringement of Ericsson’s patents. If the final ruling of the case comes in their favor then they could get banned from importing their phones altogether.
According to Reuters , the US International Trade Commission (ITC) judge found Motorola infringes on Sweden-based Ericsson’s patents of 5G wireless technology. This ruling was passed on Tuesday, December 17th. However, the final ruling of the lawsuit will be passed in April of next year.

If the ITC follows through with the same ruling in April, it ban Motorola from shipping their phones in the US, ultimately causing their demise in the market. Ericsson filed a complaint against Motorola, alleging their phones violate the company’s patents. Motorola has since denied said claims but the Tuesday ruling shows otherwise.

- Perplexity has partnered with Motorola as the AI app will now come pre-installed on new Razr and Edge 60 series.
- Users will have direct access to the answer engine and assistant, and will receive a 3-month free subscription to Perplexity Pro.
- This partnership aims to offer deeper integration of AI features in Motorola smartphones.
Just recently, we tested Perplexity’s AI assistant on iPhones , and shared our experience using it over Siri. Now we are learning that Perplexity has an official smartphone partner to showcase the prowess of its artificial intelligence search engine technology, and it is none other than Motorola.
Perplexity recently shared a post on X, announcing their partnership with the Chinese phone maker. The company also shared a blog post , fleshing out the details. They mentioned, “Starting with the new generation of Motorola devices, Perplexity will be pre-installed on millions of smartphones worldwide, giving Motorola users direct access to our answer engine and assistant”.
Perplexity will become part of Moto AI’s suite of features. Motorola’s flagship Razr devices will be the first ones to enjoy this experience. The benefits of this partnership will offer deeper integration of the AI. This will allow users to access the Perplexity assistant right from the cover screen when it’s closed.
You can even ask it to carry out tasks like “send emails, set smart reminders, play media, request rides, and book restaurant reservations”. It will also offer owners of the new Moto Razr and Edge 60 a 3-month free subscription to Perplexity Pro.
This move seems to come as a result of OpenAI’s partnership with Apple and Gemini’s integration in Samsung Galaxy smartphones. However, this isn’t the first time we are witnessing Perplexity Pro bundled with a phone. Something similar happened last year when users could claim a year’s free subscription with the purchase of a Nothing Phone (2a).
