Acum câteva ore chip.de a anunțat că Motorola a blocat prin ordin judecătoresc vânzările de iPhone-uri în Germania pentru că acestea încălcau două dintre patente:
- EP (European Patent) 1010336 (B1) on a “method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system”; același patent înregistrat în America U.S. Patent No. 6,359,898
- EP (European Patent) 0847654 (B1) on a “multiple pager status synchronization system and method”; același patent înregistrat în America U.S. Patent No. 5,754,119
Motorola:
As media and mobility continue to converge, Motorola Mobility’s patented technologies are increasingly important for innovation within the wireless and communications industries, for which Motorola Mobility has developed an industry leading intellectual property portfolio. We will continue to assert ourselves in the protection of these assets, while also ensuring that our technologies are widely available to end-users. We hope that we are able to resolve this matter, so we can focus on creating great innovations that benefit the industry.
Apple:
This is a procedural issue and has nothing to do with the merits of the case. It does not affect our ability to do business or sell products in Germany at this time.
S-ar putea ca acum cei de la Apple să aibă probleme și în America. Să vedem cum va reacționa firma în aceste momente în care pare că o duce foarte greu.
