Motorola won a lawsuit with Apple in a German court

It seems that the aggressive policy of Apple Corporation in relation to companies whose products even remotely resemble the appearance of Apple gadgets, has ceased to justify itself. Recently it became known that Apple lost the lawsuits to several companies at once, including Samsung (in Australia). Now, the Yabloko lose in the trials initiated by other companies. For example, yesterday Apple lost in a Motorola Mobility trial.

The company (which is still undergoing a deal to buy Motorola Mobility by Google) has previously sued Apple, complaining that Apple is using one of its Motorola technologies in its devices, while refusing to license it. These technologies are used in devices such as the iPhone and iPad.

Note that here we are not talking about some similar features in design. No, it's harder - Apple, as you can understand, is using some kind of GPRS data transmission technology, the rights to which belong to Motorola. This company allows "colleagues" to use this technology, but only under certain conditions, which were violated by Apple. Now Motorola is claiming damages and making a payment for the right to work with its technology. Losses will have to be repaid in 4 years.

The court ruled that Motorola could reasonably demand the removal of proprietary technologies from enemy devices. It is clear that Apple is going to appeal, but here this company is unlikely to have something “burn out”. Experts believe that if the conflict continues, as early as next year Apple will have to figure out the court with Google, which, as mentioned above, is now conducting a transaction to acquire the assets of Motorola Mobility.
