In a turning point decision, District Judge Richard Posner of Northern Illinois, Eastern Division, has discharged in its whole the long-standing authorised fighting between Apple and Motorola over–you've guessed it–patent infringement.
Judge Posner says that conjunction firm was able to reply to his call for explanation of damages. The exclusion of this box would make both Apple and Motorola not able to to refile claims in any US court.
"It would be silly to boot a fit for disaster to infer indemnification and enable the complainant to refile the fit so that he could have a second luck to infer damages," Judge Posner mentioned in his opinion. "This box is thus discharged with prejudice; a well-defined demand to that outcome is being entered today." Looks similar to both parties might have to record their lawsuits someplace else.
Apple has indicted Motorola of infringing a number of its patents inclusive "slide to unlock" and voice command (between Apple's Siri and Motorola Voice Actions ). Meanwhile, Motorola Mobility claims Apple infringed its patents on "push emails."
