The Register: Apple’s lawyers failed to show up for a court appearance in the German patent infringement case brought by Motorola Mobility. As a result, the court issued a default injunction that would ban sales of the iPhone and iPad in Germany.
Apple says that it will be a simple matter to get the injunction suspended: “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.”
