Microsoft vs. Motorola decision sees Droids banned in Germany over FAT patent (updated)

The latest development in our neverending saga of worldwide patent warfare is a decision by a Mannheim judge banning Motorola's Android devices on the basis that they violate a FAT storage patent owned by Microsoft. FOSSPatents' Florian Mueller tweets that it is the third victory by Microsoft over Motorola, and Microsoft has already issued a triumphant statement of victory which you can read after the break. There's more details about patent EP0618540 on the site - it deals with common name space for long and short file names - including a note about an email from Linux creator Linus Torvalds being cited as prior art.
