The staff at the U.S. International Trade Commission has found that Nokia Corp did not violate Apple Inc's patents, in an opinion submitted as part of the companies' legal battle over smartphone technology.
Nokia filed suit against Apple in a U.S. district court in October 2009, saying Apple's iPhone had infringed 10 patents. Apple countersued, and both companies later filed complaints with the ITC.
Apple is asking the ITC to ban imports of infringing devices from Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker. After the administrative law judge rules, which is expected in February, the full ITC will vote on whether to follow the judge's ruling.
