Apple has won an injunction against Motorola phones in a regional court in Munich, Germany earlier today. The injunction can be enforced by Apple at its own risk, and against a bond. That's because, while being a ‘permanent' injunction, it is subject to appeal. Which both Apple and Motorola are expected to do (Moto already officially stating that it will).
Why would Apple appeal? Well, because it won the injunction based on two embodiments of a patent relating to the slide-to-unlock feature so prevalent in today's mobile devices.
