Motorola Mobility Appeals ITC Finding of No Section 337 Violation by Apple iPhones

Motorola Mobility appealed an Aug. 29 International Trade Commission determination of no violation of Section 337 by imports of Apple iPhones. In its determination, the ITC also decided to further consider an aspect of the administrative law judge’s initial determination in the investigation of certain wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, computers and components thereof (337-TA-745). The case is one of two highlighted by the Federal Trade Commission in comments against issuance of exclusion orders in favor of standard essential patents. Motorola Mobility is owned by Google.
