Administrative Law Judge Theodore Essex turned down Google's request to disqualify expert Dr. Robert Stevenson in the dispute between Microsoft and Motorola over the Android operating system. On August 10, Google filed a non-party motion with the US International Trade Commission claiming MS disclosed confidential source code to Stevenson without his having been cleared with Google first.
MS alleges that Motorola’s use of Android violates their IP rights. The computer expert reviewed code for the Android, the mobile OS #1 in consumer sales.
