Posner had previously dismissed the cover, at the very least tentatively, with yet one more chance assigned to both parties in order to make their case. Apparently, both sides was unsuccessful prove damages so Posner ruled that an injunction against the sale out of any products is unwarranted. This needs to be great news, most famous for Motorola who was in the whole weaker position.
Hit the break for quotes from the ruling while a link to comprehensive document.
In Posner's view, both parties were not able to offer hard numbers backing their claims.
"Both parties have deep pockets. And neither has acknowledged that damages for your personal infringement of that patents cannot be estimated with tolerable certainty."
Motorola made the following statement on the ruling:
"We are pleased that Judge Posner formally dismissed how it is against Motorola Mobility. Apple's litigation campaign began along with their commit to assert 15 patents against us. While it is connected to Apple's violation in our patents, we are going to continue our efforts to defend our own innovation."
Apple will probably have appeal, though they declined to comment upon the Posner's 38-page ruling. Hit the fundamental cause link to view the ruling within its entirety.
