I think German politicians have bigger issues to worry about right now than a patent dispute between Apple and Motorola, something about Greece, Italy, and Spain.
This court case is just a proxy war fought by Motorola as a client company of Google.
- pyre 15y agoSo... Motorola was only fighting this on Google's behalf (prior to the purchase)? They were fighting this because it was in their own best interests. Just because their interests align with Google's doesn't make it a 'proxy war.'
- fleitz 15y agoIt's usually in the proxies interest to fight the war anyway. Vietnam was a proxy war for the US even though Vietnam was fighting it long before the US got involved. Google gets to fuck with Apple and if they lose they just roll up the company with out exposing the real profits to judgement. Moto bears the risk, Google reaps the rewards, classic proxy war. Either way I don't think German politicians are ready to intervene.
