So, they've already lost in the German courts vs. ABP; why do they get to keep going after other companies with the same bogus arguments?

Quite obviously, they are trying the American model of suing everybody in sight again and again until they give up.

I guess they hope eventually a judge will confirm their ridiculous position, and then they can go "See!?!? We told you so!" and once again go after ABP.

They only need one original precedent. If they get that, apple will have to stop all the others.
