Apple 10144 Published by

Several German lawyers polled about a recent preliminary injunction against Apple won by rival Motorola Mobility are in agreement that Apple is likely to win a temporary suspension of the order, though they did note that failure to do so could have an impact on its business in the country.



From Apple Insider:
Florian Mueller of FOSS Patent contacted a number of German lawyers about a default judgment that a German court handed down last Friday. The preliminary ruling came because Apple missed a deadline to answer Motorola's patent complaints against it.

News of the injunction made waves on Friday because it appeared to threaten Apple's business in Germany, the largest market in Europe. But, it was quickly revealed that the judgment was made in Motorola's suit against the parent company Apple Inc., while Apple had focused its efforts on vigorously fighting an identical complaint lodged against its local subsidiary Apple Germany.
