Motorola has scored a victory in a patent war with rival Apple when a German court upheld a call banning it from offering services for synchronising e-mails on its devices in Germany.
The Mannheim regional court found that Apple's iCloud and MobileMe services breached the patents at the technology held by Motorola Mobility and it ordered Apple to pay damages to Motorola, but didn't specify the volume.
The ruling marks a victory in a sequence of bitter patent war between various technology giants.
Earlier this month, European regulators opened two antitrust investigations against Motorola Mobility, bought by US Internet giant Google.
The eu Commission said it'd check whether Motorola had abused a dominant market position on patents by seeking injunctions to forestall Apple and Microsoft from selling their iPhone, iPad, Xbox and Windows products.
Microsoft and Apple accuse Motorola Mobility of unfairly using its extensive patent portfolio to attempt to dam competing products through court orders around the EU and by charging excessive licensing prices for essential patents.
