ReutersRockstar提起的这些诉讼令不生产安卓手机的厂商与生产安卓手机的厂商对立了起来。这基本上意味着非安卓(Android)操作系统手机生产商与安卓手机生产商这两大阵营的对峙。诉状指控大多数被告侵犯智能手机设计和功能相关的专利权。诉讼还把目标指向了谷歌核心的网络搜索技术的一些内容，主要根据的是Rockstar 2011年击败谷歌、从北电网络有限公司(Nortel Networks)购得的专利。

That purchase of the 6,000 Nortel patents caused anxiety at the Justice Department. A chief concern was that Apple and Microsoft, which took ownership of many patents related to wireless standards, rather than leave them with Rockstar, would use the patents to quash competition.

当时Rockstar收购北电6,000项专利引发了美国司法部(Justice Department)的不安。司法部主要担心的是，持有了许多无线标准专利、而不是留给Rockstar的苹果和微软会利用这些专利权打压竞争对手。

The Justice Department ultimately blessed the deal last year after getting concessions from the companies that they would agree to license the patents on 'fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory' terms.

在这些公司同意做出让步、同意按照“公平、合理以及无歧视”条件将这些专利授权给其他公司之后，司法部去年最终批准了这笔交易。

The patents at the heart of the Rockstar suits filed last week don't pertain to standards. Also, the Justice Department's agreements were with Apple and Microsoft, not the consortium, which was formed during the bidding for the Nortel patents. Rockstar took ownership of most of the patents that the companies bought.
