ITC Ends Patent Import Investigation on Apple iPhones With No Violation Finding

The International Trade Commission ended its Section 337 patent investigation on Apple iPhones (337-TA-745) with a finding of no violation. Motorola requested the investigation in 2010, alleging violations by imports of Apple iPhones (see 13022227). After a remand on several issues, an administrative law judge found infringement of certain patents, but said the patents were invalid because they were obvious concepts.
