FossPatents: Nokia wins preliminary ITC ruling against HTC’s Android devices over two hardware patents

FossPatents notes that Nokia has won preliminary ITC ruling against HTC’s Android devices (supposedly Nokia’s first ITC complaint against HTC). This may lead to a US import ban. Fosspatents also reminds us of another Nokia/HTC fight over a USB configuration patent which Nokia is said to appear to be winning. HTC’s own claims that Nokia’s infringing their video patents via subsidiary S3 graphics, was quashed.

Nokia’s statement:

Nokia is pleased that the initial determination of the ITC confirmed that HTC has infringed two of our patents. Local counterparts of one of these are also already in litigation against HTC in London, UK; Dusseldorf, Germany and Rome, Italy. We will reserve further comment until we have had the chance to study the judgment in detail.

Cheers Alvester for the tip!
