Qualcomm claims win in Nokia fight
From Times Wire Services
Qualcomm Inc., a San Diego maker of mobile-phone chips, said a U.S. judge issued an initial determination ending an investigation of trade practices filed by Nokia.
Nokia in August asked the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington to ban imports of handsets with certain Qualcomm chip sets, raising the stakes in their fight over licensing fees. The Finnish firm said Qualcomm used “unfair trade practices” in relation to five of its patents.
Judge Paul Luckern’s ruling will stand unless the trade commission decides to review it.
