ESPOO, FINLAND – Nokia said it received a favorable initial ruling from the International Trade Commission on a patent dispute with Qualcomm related to some of its GSM communications products.
Commission judge Paul J. Luckern ruled that Nokia did not infringe or violate the three Qualcomm patents involved in the dispute. The judge also found one of the patents invalid.
Qualcomm said it plans to request a review of the initial ruling.
Qualcomm's initial ITC complaint from June 9, 2006, involved six patents, but the company later voluntarily withdrew three. The San Diego-based company claimed the three patents left were key to GSM.
Similar disputes between the two companies are pending in Europe and China.
The commission’s final ruling is expected by April 14.
