It's the same tactic Apple uses in it's own legal offensives. Block the
target company from selling anything while the case is being adjudicated
to put pressure on them to "settle" on Apples terms.
Turn about is fair play. I hope there's a judge somewhere who will grant
Motorola the injunction.

Interesting that they should ask for a ban on sales of hardware, based
on a software patent. I guess that is just an ambit claim unless there
is something at the hardware level that actually infringes the patent.
FWIW the Australian government science body, CSIRO, sued all of the big
hardware manufacturers over a wifi patent and one by one they settled. I
can't remember the details but it was an algorithm developed for radio
telescopes and was fundamental to how wifi works.
