Apple Wins slide to unlock Dispute against Motorola In Court

Earlier this month, Motorola was granted an injunction that would serve to prevent the sale of some of Apple gadgets in Germany, although the apple company has achieved a temporary suspension of the decision shortly thereafter. Now a decision of another court released today showed that it is Motorola that has to worry about. The German judge Peter Guntz decided that some Motorola devices infringe the patent to unlock the screen using an image, which patent belongs to Apple.


Motorola said it has a solution, which may involve changing the interface, but gave no details yet. While the Android 3.0 tablets are not affected, the decision may include the rest of the apparatus with a system before that and use some form of picture to unlock the screen. That is why, according to patent expert Florian Muller, that Apple could use this decision in other jurisdictions and prevent the expansion of Android in other markets.

In the U.S. the new lawsuit filed by Apple against Samsung, and would involve the Galaxy Nexus, your document was officially released today. The Android Police personnel had access to it and showed that the South Korean giant is behind more than just the current flagship of Google's system: there are 17 different models of phones, tablets and media players with Android.

In all, Apple says that the 17 aircraft, covering not only some variations of the Galaxy S II as well as the Nexus Galaxy and Galaxy Tab 8.9, somehow infringe on 8 different patents. These patents are the unlock screen by an image management, missed calls and even asynchronous synchronization of data between devices.

And this is another chapter in the great world war of patents. Luckily it ends at the end of the year, with the end of the world.
