Since when has the court authority in Germany?

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, September 30 2012 @ 11:08 AM EDT

If you read the judgement, Motorola initiated the Patent proceedings in the U.S.
first, knowing that the matter involved global commitments. That is the basis
for the U.S. court guarding its authority in the matter. The 9th Circuit stated
that the German action smelled of forum shopping.

The 9th Circuit also noted that the issue of whether the District Court can
impose global royalties cannot be heard interlocutory (prior to final judgement)
but only once the District Court delivers its final judgement.

Thus, we all have to wait. Whatever the District Court does from here on will
probably be brought to the attention of the 9th Circuit by way of a respectfully
drafted appeal.
