Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Motorola Mobility didn’t act in good faith when it demanded patent royalties from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) for use of video-compression and Wi-Fi technology, a federal jury said yesterday.

The jury in Seattle acted in its first day of deliberations. Microsoft was awarded about $14.5 million in damages, the Seattle Times newspaper reported in a blog post.
