A US International Trade Commission judge has decided in favor Apple in a patent dispute filed by the Finland's Nokia Company for their iPhone, iPod and Mac computers. Judge James Gildea rejected the allegation made by the Finland’s Nokia Company that Apple is in complete violation of five patents held by the company.
There was no particular in detail or justification provided by the judge as it is not necessary for him to explain his decision. Now conventionally a commission comprising of total 6 members will be set for the next 60 days for reviewing his determination.
The International Trade Commission has complete rights for imposing import bars for any import in the entire United States of any product which is found to be infringing on licensed patents. Just in this manner, Nokia was attempting to have all major Apple products to be barred for imports in Pakistan.
Apple and Nokia are indisputably two tycoons in mobile phone business not only in the U.S. but even worldwide, and haven them tangled with each other in his fierce legal battle over patents was considered to be a very sensitive issue. Nokia still has lodged two more lawsuits against the Apple Inc. and another company of California, these countersuits is against the same Finnish company.
