Apple on Thursday, Feb 16, was granted an injunction on multiple Motorola devices that make use of its slide-to-unlock patent, bgr,com reported, citing a post on FOSS Patents.
The ruling came from Judge Peter Guntz of Munich’s Regional Court in Germany, and it allows Apple to enforce a permanent injunction against a number of Motorola’s Android devices at anytime.
The court evaluated three different embodiments, two of which Apple won. The Cupertino-based company was unsuccessful on the third embodiment, which involved the Motorola XOOM. Both companies are expected to appeal the court’s ruling.
