Motorola Succeeds in Lawsuit with Apple
As it was written earlier on Habré, the Motorola corporation, or rather, the Motorola Mobility division, which has not yet come under the jurisdiction of Google, sued Apple. The essence of the claim is usual - patent infringement. In December 2011, Motorola attempted to negotiate with the Yablochnik, but it seems that nothing happened. After that, the trial began, which is not the best way for Apple. The lawsuit is in Germany, and the German court has already decided to suspend sales of iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4. However, this applies only to the German division of Apple, not the partners of the corporation.
Nevertheless, Apple Germany already had to withdraw from the sale in this country the specified devices, including also their tablets. All this is a bit like Apple’s similar lawsuit with Samsung, when the latter company had to withdraw its devices from sales in some countries. Then, last year, the South Korean giant even had to withdraw the tablets from the technology exhibition, i.e. remove the device from the stands. Apple now has to “eat” what the company has “fed” to others for a long time, so to speak.
It is worth recalling that the essence of claims Motorola - patents for wireless data transmission over GPRS, this technology is used in the vast majority of mobile devices today. It is also used in Apple devices, which are now punished in Germany. Under the terms of the patent, companies must request Motorola licensing for this technology.

It is worth noting that Apple may have problems with the work of its "cloud" service iCloud, because Motorola has filed a lawsuit in this direction. The court has not yet banned the operation of this service, but in the near future it is still possible. I wonder if this trial will help teach Apple to behave more restrained? Probably unlikely.
