Maybe this is a dumb question, but why are they targetting motorola? Don't these patents apply to, well, every smartphone in existence? It can't be a matter of stupidity, so I wonder what made them decide to go after Motorola, and not Nokia, Apple, HTC, Palm, and everyone else who makes a phone with a "Contact Database."
Well you have to read the actual claims. The title means nothing... like literally nothing. It could be that in their patent they require the contact list to also show a nickname, and only Motorola does that.
Who knows, but you should never speculate based on the patent name.

HTC and Apple at least both have some licensing agreements with Microsoft that may cover these patents.
