iOS Devices [mod: might be] Banned in Europe [mod: Germany]
http://gizmodo.com/5866646/motorola-...st-ios-devices
"Apple just found itself on the receiving-end of some legal hurt. Motorola has successfully sued Apple in Germany, paving the way for a Europe-wide sales ban on basically all iOS devices..." Last edited by CyGuy; 12-09-2011 at 04:45 PM. |

Can someone please clarify: what iOS devices have been banned in Europe, as the thread title claims?

Seems to be in Germany only, but the article says it's "paving the way" for a Europe-wide ban. More technical article at http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011...an-patent.html ; the infringement relates to a patent for a "method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system". Actual ruling: http://www.scribd.com/doc/75208713/1...-Against-Apple |

NONE - as I said earlier, Germany isn't Europe and this judgement is only related to one low level regional court... check out the more accurate reports on the BBC Technology area if you're interested...

Oh, yeah, Apple never claimed rectangle with rounded corners (that' what the whole "community design" was about by the way) and that's why their helpful suggestions how to not infringe sound like (no, not a joke):
full story here on MR. PS Oh, didn't see vbkun's comment. Quote:
