clickyAnother burst of common sense hits the courts, with the german justice system being able to differentiate between motorola Zoom and the iPad.

It's too late, or more accurately the litigation had it's intended effect, in at least some sense. Hardly anyone is even thinking about buying a Xoom any more. Why buy an Android 3 tablet from Motorola when you can get a Google Nexus for about half the price, which has a better spec in many regards. The Xoom had a window of opportunity and Apple used litigation to close it before Motorola could clamber through.
Not ethical of course, but these are corporations. if you expect them to be ethical, you'll always come away disappointed.

Judge Colin Birss is a complicated man I tell you what though, a few more instances like that and he might cut the nonsense out of the patent industry over here!

They’ll drop it on their newly acquired apple.co.uk domain, which no one will go to. I doubt that many people got to apple.com/uk apart from the store section.

They'll have to be careful, the Court won't be too pleased if the message doesn't get significant prominence.

The ruling says which page they've got to put it on and also says they have to take out prominent adverts in several newspapers & magazines. This isn't one they'll be able to bury, because the judge was smart enough to think of all the obvious tricks. I think it's effing hilarious. It's like a naughty schoolboy being forced to say sorry by teacher. I may buy a newspaper that day for the first time in years. Update : Apple are appealing. Bah. Jon
