German court grants injunction against Apple for infringement of Motorola patents (update: Apple responds)
11/4/2011



Motorola just third edition by the editors of the american heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 that earlier today, the Mannheim quarter Court in Germany granted a default judgment in its case against Apple that bars the sale of Apple goods in Deutschland. In addition to the confirmation, Motorola also issued the following, rather unrevealing statement:



"As media and mobility take up to converge, Motorola Mobility's patented technologies are increasingly critical for newness within the car telephone and communications industries, for which Motorola Mobility has developed an trade leading intellectual capital portfolio. We will take up to assert don't breathe a word in the guarding of these assets, while also ensuring that our technologies are widely easy to end-users. We hope that we are able to resolve this matter, so we can focus on creating great innovations that benefit the industry."



The ruling comes as a role reversal of sorts for Apple, which most newly recognized a pair of injunctions in Germany, banning the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in that country, along with the rather embarrassing removal of the Tab 7.7 from the show floor at IFA. proper to FOSS Patents this is a default judgment, meaning Apple did not respond to Moto's filing and as a result got hit with the injunction, which could result in its manufactures being pulled or the company being specifications to pay damages. And so the saga continues... Dust off the pocket translator and hit up the source link for the full ruling in German.



Update: We just got the coming mention from Apple apropos the ruling:



"This is a procedural issue, and has nothing to do with the merits of the case. It does not affect our ability to sell range or do job in Germany at this time."



So, it appears our iDevice-loving German friends have nothing to worry about, at least for now.
