Judge Richard Posner harshly dismissed Apple and Motorola’s patent trial last week, but in a new order issued yesterday, has decided to give Apple an opportunity to prove whether it deserves an injunction — even if it doesn’t receive any damages from its adversary.

We’ll be sure to keep tracking the case, but there’s no guarantee either Apple or Motorola will get what they’ve both admitted will alleviate their grievances: money.
