Motorola is selling more than 20 mobile phone models, including its popular Razr 3, that use lenses protected by three patents awarded in 2004 and 2005, Fujifilm's Fujinon unit said in the lawsuit filed yesterday. Fujinon asked a judge to block Motorola's infringement and award unspecified damages.

"By its infringing conduct, Motorola has made unlawful gains and profits,'' Fujinon said in a complaint filed in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware." Motorola has thus caused Fujinon irreparable damage.''
