Motorola Mobility spokeswoman Jennifer Erickson said the company was pleased that Posner dismissed Apple’s case. Since Motorola could design around the minor technological features covered by Apple’s patents, an injunction would be an inappropriate windfall for Apple, Posner wrote. In a bright spot for the iPhone maker, Posner also ruled that Motorola could not seek an injunction based on the one patent in the case that it was still asserting against Apple.
