The latest comes from a German court that has ruled Apple&#8217;s infamous slide-to-unlock patent invalid in their case against Motorola. Apple tried to show 14 different amendments to the patent to keep it valid, but the German court disagreed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">While this is technically a win for Motorola, most Android manufacturers have put workarounds in place to avoid infringing on Apple&#8217;s slide-to-unlock patent. Had Apple been able to continue using that patent, it wouldn&#8217;t have given them any notable advantage over other manufacturers. Still, we can chalk this one up as a win for common sense and call it a day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">source: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fosspatents.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fapples-slide-to-unlock-patent.html&sref=rss\">FOSS Patents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/157212-german-court-invalidates-apples-slide-to-unlock-patent-in-patent-suit-with-motorola\/\">German court invalidates Apple&#8217;s slide-to-unlock patent in patent suit with Motorola<\/a><\/strong>\n<br \/>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div><\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/dO1w-nwMw1E\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/-Yr8UPn35FM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/pwUuz-c9zBA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patent suits involving Motorola and Apple have been relatively quiet lately, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ve ceased entirely.
