Ban on iPhones, iPads Suspended in Germany, Sales Resume
Sales of Apple’s iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G resumed on Friday after a permanent injunction had gone into effect early Friday morning.
"All iPad and iPhone models will be back on sale through Apple’s online store in Germany shortly" an Apple spokesperson told SlashGear in a statement. "Apple appealed this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."

Apple’s iOS devices with embedded 3G were deemed to being infringing on a Motorola patent this past December. A judge ordered an injunction at that time that went into effect on Friday, forcing Apple to remove the infringing devices from its German website.
Motorola filed a separate complaint against Apple’s new iPhone 4S last month.
