Apple did not violate four HTC patents, an International Trade Commission judge has ruled. HTC filed a complaint with the commission in May 2010, alleging Apple infringed on several mobile patent technologies, including those for power management of mobile devices and phone dialing. It asked the ITC to bar the importation of Apple devices that used those technologies, namely its line of iPods, iPhones and iPads. Instead, Charles Bullock, the administrative law judge hearing the case, said that the four HTC patents were valid. The full commission will decide in February whether to uphold his decision.
