Back in April 2009 ?�before the incredible rise of Android had really picked up steam ?�Google's mobile operating system faced a challenger that had almost nothing to do with cell phones. Erich Specht, a man who ran a data company called Android Data from 1998 through 2002, came forward to say that Google was infringing on his trademark by using the name 'Android', and he wanted a payout of $94 million from Google, Android Inc, and the Open Handset Alliance. Last week, Google got some good news: a judge granted Google's Motion for Summary Judgment to throw out the case. The judge has also canceled Specht's original trademark, on the grounds that it could result in confusion with Google's mark, and because Specht has already used it "as a sword" against Google.:
