InterDigital Filed Complaint With the ITC Over Patent Dispute

The Wall Street Journal reports, in 2007, InterDigital filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (ITC) over lost royalities from Nokia and alleging Nokia in unfair trade practice by selling certain 3G componants that infringe on 4 of InterDigital’s patents.

The judge ruled recently in favor of Nokia and found no violation of patent infringement.

InterDigital Chief Executive William Merritt said the company strongly disagreed with the judge’s finding, and “we will exercise our right to petition to the Commission for a review” of the initial determination.

InterDigital also followed with this statement claiming that this case is a small fraction to its 3G portfolio and remains confident in licensing other makers of the 3G headsets.
