Motorola wins injunction against Apple in Germany, again

09 December, 2011
They can enforce it (maybe), but it's a complicated path that carries risk. The court case is far from over too.

Its not just gprs motorola and others hold loads off other patents.that would cover the whole spectrum off radio for cellphones ..apple just bit of more than they can chew... Show us the money or get out of the cellphone business ....if motorola Samsung and the rest got together they could take apple for billions...its up to the judge wait and seen the verdict it will be interesting....motorola all the way.....

      Its about time apple got roasted, as they have a reputaton of using things & violating patents.
      They are also the first to cry foul when some one infringes on thier patents.
      Apple should really be careful as the iphone is built on a house of cards, for instance ios is based on linux which is open source & they have the front to lock it down.
      Bluetooth was developed by ericson & left as open source for all to use, again apple has the front to lock it down.
      Apple never made the first touch screen phone either & they have the front to act as if they did.
      When Apple records was going they had an agreement that apple could use the name provided they never had anything to do with music.
      I really hope motorola have the balls to grab apple by the throat & go for the kill

              Anonymous, 10 Dec 2011like flash, they just gotta remove 2g data, call it old XD. Loool! Good one! Next they'll remove 3g and claim that networks are old fashioned and that 3/4g + wifi is killing off your battery, and then demand a nation wide wifi connections, but then it's still too bad coz samsung is suing them already for the wifi-antena's patents!

                I hope these patent wars continue to end with the aggressor loosing, while some may hate on Apple for starting it, but prices will be higher if another company has to get a license.

                      interesting.... u say that Apple is a bully when they sue when their patents are violated, and say they are getting what they deserve when they loose a case, this b4 Apples appeal is heard, they may still win this Motorola, was acting anti-competitively, try reading more on the subject.

                          lambo, 09 Dec 2011im sorry but what the hell? this has very little to do with... moreBut it was fine for Apple to go against Samsung in court and to nearly stop most of the exports to EU because Samsung had a rectangle tablet?

                          Apple threw the first stone and should of seen the back lash that was going to happen.

                          Non of these comments on here have once slated the customers they have just stated that Apple had it coming, As a Android user im glad that they have been bitten by thier own tactic. Like another post just now its about Apple trying to take the choice away from the consumer..... which you'll find out is you!

                              I have an idea! $15+ for every device sold since 2007.

                                AnonD-23574, 09 Dec 2011Yippee!! Two bits of good news about Apple in less than a w... moreJeez! You really hate Steve Jobs. Although I like android phones better than iphones I have huge respect for the man. He may not have allowed too much customization on his phones but its not because he hates freedom to choose, he likes to keep things simple. That is why my son has an easier time using an ipad. Since i am more technically inclined, I use android. If you don't like what he sells, buy the competition. No reason to hate him. In fact he is serving a bigger portion of the market who wants their gadgets simple and to just work. I for one credit him for many of the features in Android phones.
