Google Inc.’s Motorola Mobility unit was sent a European Union antitrust complaint for abusing its dominant position as part of a probe into its control of key patents in gadgets such as Apple Inc. iPhones and iPads.
The EU antitrust regulator said it suspects that Motorola Mobility, which Google bought last year for $12.4 billion, is abusing its dominant position by “seeking and enforcing” injunctions against Apple in Germany based on its patents that are essential for products to comply with industry-agreed technical standards.
