Apple hasn't infringed on a disputed Motorola patent in its iPhone, an appeals court said Friday.
The ruling is a blow to Motorola, which had petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., after an earlier ruling by the International Trade Commission.
Motorola had gone to the trade court as part of its battle against Apple because the trade court has the ability to block the import of products it considers to be infringing on U.S. patents. Because Apple manufactures the iPhone overseas, Motorola had been hoping to get the phone blocked from the U.S. market.
Its original complaint to the ITC had covered a number of patents, but its appeal only concerned the ITC's finding on U.S. Patent 6,272,666, "Method and apparatus in a wireless communication system for controlling a delivery of data."
