[quote]Yesterday a German court sided with Apple against Samsung, disallowing the sale of Galaxy Tab 10.1 units in the European Union. Buried deep within this filing is mention of yet another complaint -- but this one is against Motorola, allegedly over the design of the XOOM.
This has been a back-and-forth battle between the two companies for sometime now, with Moto originally going after Apple for violating 18 patents in iOS and some Macs back in October of 2010. Apple quickly fired back, accusing Moto of violating six of its patents in the Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, and other smartphones. Now the XOOM is on the line, and you can bet that Apple is looking to get a similar injunction to yesterday's ruling against Samsung, halting the sale of XOOM tablets in Europe along with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
According to FOSS Patents, it is unlikely that a preliminary injunction will be issued, as "German lawyers usually discourage such motions unless they are filed within one month of finding out about an infringement." This means the XOOM is most likely safe for now, but could face some serious consequences as this case moves forward.[/quote]
I think Apple senses their exit from the mobility market. So they're just suing everyone to get money.
Apple has to be the most childish company ever.
Im never buying any of their products

Apple is jelly.
It's like a 5 year old going crying to his mummy because someone did something similar to him, but better.
Bitchy little cunts
So what about the Xoom is similar? It's power button is on it's back, UI is completely different, hardware is different.
Fuck off Apple. Be like every other company and use competition to better your products.

...wait...
People with intelligence should sue Apple for causing brain damage.

Before you know it, Apple "owns" copyright on all rectangular devices with rounded edges.
I like (hate) how they know about the infringements all along and when their market share drops they start enforcing them.
That's not how it should work.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;31649225]Before you know it, Apple "owns" copyright on all rectangular devices with rounded edges.[/QUOTE]
And then moves onto prosecuting anything with a touchscreen?
What this article fails to disclose is that Motorola sued Apple first.

But still, software patents need to die.

"Your device has pixels that produce colored light just like our iPad, and people can interact with it using their fingers. Please halt production or we will sue."

It looks more shiny than an iPad, clearly a superior product that Apple is jealous of.

So you guys going to keep fighting over whos toy is better? Thats all these things are. Fancy toys.
Do you go up to kids with Legos and tell them that Megablocks are better and tell them that their brainwashed too?
You can't have much variety when phones and tablets are rectangles with touch screens and no buttons to navigate. It's called the fucking future. (until we get contact lenses and glasses that do it all for us)

Is that why Cut The Rope is the second most paid for item on the Android Market currently?
That doesn't seem like sharing information.

They're mainly for calling and using the internet. God forbid that you can also play games and watch movies on it for entertainment.
Fuck off already Apple.
