Motorola Germany Motorola's ban in Germany to be lifted

After the recent court-ruling, which banned Motorola from selling its Moto X and Moto G devices in Germany, a recent workaround by Motorola might upturn that.

As you might know,  the German court ruled Motorola's infringement on German laser-specialist firm LPKF's patent, which patented the process by which an antenna is placed on to a curved plastic design. Now, although that
is a common way, the court decided that's breaking the patent, and rules Motorola take all its moto G and X handsets of the shelves, recall current ones, and pay compensation to LPKF.

After the German firm quickly boasted about is court victory, saying it plans on further suing Motorola on other countries such as China. But, it now seems Motorola might have found a workaround in order to continue selling its handsets undisturbed.
Motorola is seemingly panning to replace the current, 'illegal' components with ones from an authorized source, allowing it to continue selling the devices.

"Motorola has taken steps to avoid interruption in supply or recall issues by using components from an authorized source in its phones that are currently shipping."-Motorola












Motorola will still be looking not only to continue selling its devices using the legal components, but to upturn the judgment, in order to avoid similar troubles in other markets. The company is now in full stages of getting the next Moto X+1 ready, and it might be released next month.
