So if Apple complains about Samsung or other companies and wins in court, then the looser can't sell infringing products. But if the shoe is on the other foot, Apple can continue to sell infringing products.
Smells like the courts in Germany are corrupt in some way....
its one of those stupid rulings really Apple inc cannot sell infringing products in germany but apple germany a subsidiary company of apple inc are allowed to as the suit was bought against apple inc not apple germany. Yeah that makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it
"..., because no inaction may look bad ..." Double negative there.

Sure does smell of corruption still, the samsung case was similar where the defendant wasn't informed of the hearing and apple presented forged evidence (photoshoped samsung logo's onto an ipad) and got the ruling. It's what happens when the world is in a financial crisis and your one of the richest companies around (in terms of disposable cash)
As far as I know - based on other news presentations elsewhere - this time the defendant was informed.
A victory is a victory in my book. Personally speaking, failing to turn up is the same as admitting fault, so no way should Apple get to appeal. Allowing an appeal seems daft to me, as Apple either don't figure this is worth fighting or don't have much regard for the court.A very shallow victory indeed however, as the default judgement was rendered as Apple failed to show up in court.
Hopefully Moto will be able to copy Apple and get a block on the "infringing products" - irrespective of what Apple division or reseller they're coming from.
