U.S. electronics giant Apple resumes sales of portable devices that support 3G networks in a German online store.


U.S. electronics giant Apple resumes sales of portable devices that support 3G networks in a German online store. This happened after the Cupertino-based company quickly enough time has made the suspension of judgment is not so long ago, at the suit of Motorola Mobility

Recall that in the end of last year, Motorola Mobility won an important victory in the litigation concerning the infringement of one of Apple patents in the field of 3G/UMTS. The German court found the company from Cupertino wrong in this matter, which led to the prohibition of sales on the German market, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and modifications of the iPad with 3G.


At the same time Apple had the right to appeal the injunction, which she did, referring to the repeated failures of Motorola to license the disputed patent on reasonable terms, while another seven years before he was declared describes common industry standards, that is covered by the concept of FRAND. Of course, the suspension of judgment does not mean its complete abolition, but it gives the company from Cupertino time to gather his thoughts to defend their positions.
