This article is for subscribers only.
Motorola Solutions Inc. sued a patent-licensing firm to fend off claims that radio technology used by retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. to track their goods violates patents.
Motorola Solutions sued Round Rock Research LLC in reaction to a series of lawsuits filed last year by Round Rock against Amazon, Macy’s Retail Holdings Inc., PepsiCo Inc. and others that use radio frequency identification technology. Round Rock claims it owns the patents on the RFID technology used by those companies.
