Apple, Motorola Patent Lawsuit Narrowed (AAPL, MMI, GOOG)

A federal judge in Chicago has narrowed the scope of a patent infringement case involving Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (NYSE: MMI). The dispute revolves around patents related to mobile technology.

Motorola, which is in the process of being acquired by Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), won another recent patent infringement case brought before the US International Trade Commission. In today’s decision, the judge agreed with Apple on two issues, with Motorola on another, and ruled that five remaining issues would go to trial in June.

The two companies must tell the judge by Monday which of the five issues they wish to bring to trial in June.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
