Motorola Mobility Inc. started off the week on a high note, winning separate rulings at the U.S. International Trade Commission that both Apple Inc.’s iPhone and iPad and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox infringe Motorola patents. The decisions are preliminary, but they augur well for the cases — and for Google’s decision to acquire IP-rich Motorola Mobility in defense of Android.

In a one-page order, Shaw found that a fifth patent, also involving Wi-Fi technology, was not infringed, and that a claim in one of the video decoding patents was invalid.
