German court suspends Apple's patent case against Samsung

Samsung Electronics got a reprieve from Apple's legal onslaught in Germany on Friday, as a court in Mannheim suspended a case about Apple's slide-to-unlock feature because of questions regarding related intellectual property protection. The district court in Mannheim stayed proceedings until the German Patent and Trade Mark Office makes a decision regarding the validity of the so-called utility model that protects Apple's slide-to-unlock feature, which Samsung has challenged and Apple thinks Samsung has infringed on, a spokesman for the Mannheim district court said.
