The back story: In 1999, Illinois entrepreneur Erich Specht started a company called Android Data Corporation, and began selling various software under the Android name.

This past April, Erich filed a lawsuit over trademark infringement of the name Android against Google, Motorola, Samsung, and Sprint Nextel. He also wanted $100 million dollars in damages.
