That said, while I don’t know about the the German Civil Law system I’d be wary about saying that Motorola could use this case as “precedent”. There’s really no such thing as judicial precedent in the Roman-Civil Law system found in the European continent, so any appellate judge would be basing the decision not on case law, but the vast body of codified law that governs court decisions in that legal tradition. (Or maybe I’m splitting hairs, because Motorola might likely use similar legal strategies in going after things like the Galaxy Tab.)

While I’m not entirely sure how German law works
