German Court Upholds Ban On Push Email In Apple's iCloud, MobileMe

Posted by timothy on from the awfully-specific-aren't-we? dept.

suraj.sun writes "A German regional court Friday backed an earlier court decision that banned Apple from offering push emails in Apple's iCloud and MobileMe services in Germany, granting Motorola Mobility a victory in a global patent war among several technology companies. The Mannheim regional court also said Apple must pay damages to Motorola Mobility, but didn't specify the amount."

    The question I have is _in Germany_ who enforces court rulings? The petitioner, or an agent of the court?

    Normal court rulings are enforced by the court itself, injunctions have to be enforced by the petitioner via a bailiff, according to de.wikipedia.
