Apple’s iOS Push Email Now back in Germany

In February last year, a German court found that Apple’s push email technology infringed on patents that were held by Motorola, the court gave Motorola an injunction and Apple had to remove push email from German iOS devices.

 Apple has now restored the push email technology to its iOS devices and iCloud in Germany, this follows formal court decision in August  that allow Apple start using push email in Germany again, whilst they are appealing the original ruing.

Apple had to part with 100 million Euro bond due to the interim nature of the ruling, and depending on the ruling of the court case in the future, Apple may have to remove the service again, or come to a licensing agreement with Motorola, assuming that the original decision is upheld.
