Apple Faces Temporary iPhone, iPad Ban In Germany

Posted by samzenpus on from the das-ist-verboten dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A regional court has temporarily banned Apple from marketing or supplying iPhones and iPads in Germany, following a suit brought about by Motorola. However, Apple said that the judgement 'does not affect our ability to do business or sell products in Germany at this time.' This may have something to do with the respondent in the case being Apple Inc, the US parent company, and not Apple GmbH, the company's local subsidiary."

  1. Samsung should dodge scam patents by walterbyrd · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seriously? You are criticizing Samsung for "dodging" scam patents like rounded corners? Why not criticize Apple for filing lawsuits based on scam patents? The JooJoo/Crunchpad had rounded corners before the iPad. Apple is just a patent parasite. We all know it.

    Yes, after Apple sued in March 2010.
