cessation Apple and Microsoft seems to have convinced Motorola Mobility to take all Android phones and tablets German market

atrial subsidiary of Motorola Mobility (MMI) abruptly withdrew all Android devices from sale in Germany, apparently after not revoke sentences of patents obtained by Microsoft and Apple.

movement might presage a massive withdrawal of MMI for Germany, which seeks job cuts and whose new CEO, Dennis Woodside Google, wants to focus on high-end sales in fewer countries than at present.

MMI Wednesday morning showed that just a phone which is available for sale - Motorola Thunderbolt, which runs a proprietary operating system, and two unpublished still Android phones, the Razr and I Razr HD, potential customers can register to purchase later.

page "tablets" shows no product.

The withdrawal does not seem to include retail, but if MMI has been offering wholesale distribution and sale could then be quickly exhausted.

A Munich court decided in September that MMI should not forget all Android smartphones and tablets sold in Germany after Apple won a patent decision on a property. Areamobile, a news site German Telecommunications, reported a spokesman said the MMI software for their devices were "examined", but gave no timetable for when they would return to the sale.

In a statement to AllThingsD, a spokesman for the GMC, said: "As we have said before Motorola Mobility focuses on less mobile devices As a result, we have eliminated some of our devices lower level in Europe / Germany .. "

Google said it paid $ 12.5 billion for MMI, in part, to the acquisition of its portfolio of 17,000 patents and 7,500 pending existing radio and mobile camps to defend claims against manufacturers of Android devices by Apple and Microsoft.

But now, said Florian Mueller, a patent blogger ", the company bought $ 12.5 billion Google to protect Android against patent threats can not even protect themselves." Müller, who receives payments from companies such as Microsoft and Oracle - who lost a highly publicized case of patents with Google earlier this year - said the withdrawal suggests that MMI has been affected by repeated injunctions filed by Microsoft. He said: "It seems that Google as a whole is struggling to cope with the rapid growth in the number of patent infringement related to Android identified by the courts in the United States, Europe and Asia."
Apple and Microsoft have had great success in the courts to enforce patents Android telephone companies, including MMI, Samsung and HTC.
