SlashGear: Following a temporary sales halt earlier today, all Apple products are once again on sale in Germany. In December, Motorola won a sales injunction against Apple because of violations of a 3G/UMTS patent. Motorola took steps to enforce that injunction today, leading Apple to suspend online sales of the iPhone and iPad. However, Apple has since appealed the sales ban on the grounds that Motorola refuses to license its technology, which is considered an industry standard.
