>>Motorola Mobility can now bar Apple from selling…


Apple is represented by two organizations in Germany: Apple Inc., the worldwide corporate parent, and Apple Germany, the local subsidiary that actually sells products to consumers.



Motorola Mobility filed lawsuits against both organizations, and while Apple Germany is vigorously fighting its case, Apple's lawyers let the Apple Inc., lawsuit slide, resulting in this default judgement and injunction.


But since Apple Inc., doesn't actually sell anything in Germany, it's a totally symbolic victory for Motorola — there aren't any products to ban. Apple confirmed to us that it'll appeal the decision anyway, and that the Apple Germany case continues to move forward.


And here you thought you were going to spend yet another thrilling Friday night examining German court documents.
