Google, Samsung, Motorola and HTC have all been prosecuted by a digital security firm on their implementation of Android.
Gemalto, an international company specializing in smart cards, terminals and software, has claimed that its Java card technology is used without permission.
It is suing the companies based on the implementation of this technology in their smartphones, which allows more efficiency in running the devices.
There is no word about the demands placed on Google et al. by Gemalto, but its clear it wants compensation by going after the handset manufacturers instead of the developers of the operating system, believing them to have used a patent without license.
It also claims that the tech was developed back in the 1990s, when the company was just Axalto.
This is the latest in a long line of lawsuits aimed at Google on Android after Oracle did about the use of Java in the OS calls.
