Following up on an announcement that it would rid itself of 4,000 employees (http://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/2012/08/17/motorola-says-global-layoffs-to-affect-china-as-employees-protest-in-beijing/) world-wide and renege on a deal (http://www.examiner.com/article/motorola-mobility-to-layoff-4000-nationwide-and-700-the-chicagoland-area) with the State of Illinois, Google's Motorola Mobility unit said it has filed a new patent-infringement case against Apple, which seeks a ban on U.S. imports of devices including the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-17/google-s-motorola-files-new-patent-case-against-apple-at-itc.html). 'Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations,' Motorola Mobility said in an e-mailed statement.
