Motorola wins injunction against Apple Sales International in German patent dispute (update: Apple appeals)

After issuing a default judgment against Apple last month, Germany’s Mannheim Regional Court has now granted a “preliminarily enforceable” injunction against Ireland-based Apple Sales International, on the grounds that its products may violate some of Motorola Mobility’s patents. At issue is Motorola’s European Patent 1010336 (B1), which covers a “method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system.” According to Foss Patents , the court’s injunction encompasses the iPhone (3G, 3GS and 4), iPad 3G and iPad2 3G. The ruling also states that Apple can avoid the injunction if it removes the patent-infringing elements from its devices, though it’s more likely that Cupertino will appeal to the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court, in the hopes of obtaining a stay. . . . → Read More: Motorola wins injunction against Apple Sales International in German patent dispute (update: Apple appeals)
