OK this is getting ridiculous now. German court upholds Apple case against Motorola:

Quote:
The basic version of Google's Android operating system displays a glow effect when a user reaches the end of a list. So, the firm could revise an adapted version used on Motorola devices to abandon their use of an added bounce-back feature.

However, he added that if Apple posted a bond of 25m euro ($32.6m; £20.1m), it could now force the devices off shop shelves, and for an additional sum it could have them destroyed or recalled.
It's not the legal fight over the patent that I find ridiculous, it's the disproportionate penalty available. Really, because a scrolling effect on a tablet device bounces back in a way patented by Apple, they have the power to get all unsold stock destroyed?
