Acer takes AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to court in a rare legal fight over wireless patents
Acer has spent decades as a hardware brand trying to keep up with PC giants, but now it is taking its fight to an entirely different arena. In a move that surprised longtime industry watchers, the company just filed lawsuits against AT&T, Verizon, and T Mobile. Acer says all three have been benefiting from cellular technology it invented without paying for the privilege. Years of negotiations reportedly went nowhere, pushing Acer into the courtroom.
