A German judge has suspended a patent infringement suit filed by Apple against Samsung covering the company’s slide-to-unlock patent, <em>Reuters</em> reported on Friday. The Mannheim court said that it will await a decision in a separate lawsuit covering the same patent in Munich before it makes its ruling. The lawsuit relates to the “slide-to-unlock utility model” and comes two weeks after <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/02/german-court-throws-out-two-suits-in-apple-samsung-patent-spat/">the same court dismissed a suit covering similar technology</a>. The Cupertino-based company recently filed a separate complaint against Motorola in Germany, also covering its slide-to-unlock patent. Since April, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/?s=apple+samsung+patents">Samsung and Apple have filed more than 30 lawsuits against one another</a> throughout various countries around the world.
