    Microsoft escalated its legal battle with Motorola Inc. on Tuesday with a lawsuit accusing the phone maker of charging inflated royalties for networking technology that the software giant uses in its Xbox gaming system.
    The suit, filed in federal court in Seattle, comes on the heels of another lawsuit filed by Microsoft against its former partner in October, accusing Motorola of violating a number of Microsoft trade patents in some of its Android-backed smart phones.
    The latest suit accuses Motorola of breaching its commitments to standards organizations such as the International Telecommunications Union that allow other companies to license its patents connected to wireless technology and video coding, which Microsoft uses in its Xbox console.
