Apple could face a ban on the sales of the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and other devices in Germany after the company failed to show up in court to answer a dispute with rival Motorola over alleged patent infringement.

The reasons behind Apple's no-show at the court are still unknown - but because the company's representatives didn't appear, the district court in Mannheim passed a default judgement favouring Motorola.

The court order - which is directed against Apple, Inc., rather than its German subsidiary, Apple GmbH - doesn't specifically mention any particular Apple handsets or tablet devices, but says that Apple will not be able to offer for sale any products that infringe two of Motorola's wireless technology-related patents.
