Nokia Loses Round One to Apple in Patent Wars

Finnish mobile phone market leader Nokia has come out on the losing end in some if its patent infringement battles with the American PC giant, Apple.

Acting as arbitrator in the clash of the titans, a judge from the US International Trade Commission ruled in favour of Apple in five of the patent wars, and determined that Apple did not commit any intellectual property infringements against Nokia.

Judge James Gildea of the ITC did not outline the basis for his decision. The six-member commission may still overturn this ruling, which will be probed later this year.

Nokia still has not received any details about the decision, and Communications Manager Päivi Tallqvist says the company will decide on a future course of action after it has this information.

In 2009 Nokia filed several patent infringement cases against Apple based on the development of its wireless handsets. In its turn, Apple counter sued, claiming that Nokia had infringed on patents related to the iPhone.

The International Trade Commission hears many patent cases and can bar the import of devices found to be infringing another company’s patents.
