It looks like Google Maps could be in trouble as Microsoft has expanded their patent case against Motorola, and have added Google to the mix, considering that Google now owns Motorola Mobility. To that extent Microsoft has also added a patent infringement claim on Google Maps, stating that they believe that Google's service infringed upon a patent Microsoft owned back in 1995 which still has a good 3 years left. The lawsuit was announced in Germany and it was noted that should Microsoft be successful in their claims, Google Maps could no longer be made available in Germany next year along with every Android device that relies on it.
