Skyhook sues Google for patent infringement... again

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/21/skyhook-google-patent-infringement-lawsuit/)

Last time Google found itself in [court proceedings opposite Skyhook](http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/skyhook-sues-google-for-business-interference-and-patent-infring/), it was facing anticompetitive and IP legal claims for [forcing Android OEMs to use Google's location services](http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/17/skyhook-google-forced-motorola-to-drop-our-location-service-de/). Yesterday, Skyhook filed a new complaint alleging that Google is infringing nine of its patents. _FOSS Patents _reports that the IP in question is, like last time, all about geolocation technology. The patents cover various aspects of a WLAN-based positioning system, and all but one of them were granted _after_ the prior lawsuit, hence the new legal action. We've yet to hear Google's side of the story, but you can take a peek at Skyhook's airing of grievances at the source below.
